Volume of distribution (Vd) is a pharmacological concept that quantifies the extent to which a drug disperses throughout the body's fluids and tissues after administration. It is expressed in liters and helps to determine how widely a drug is distributed relative to the concentration in the bloodstream, reflecting the relationship between the dose of the drug and its concentration in plasma. A higher Vd indicates greater distribution into tissues, while a lower Vd suggests more confinement within the bloodstream.
