The blood to plasma ratio (often referred to as Kb/p) is the ratio of the concentration of drug in whole blood (i.e. contains both red blood cells and plasma) to the concentration of drug in plasma, namely CB/CP.

Kb/p of the test compound helps to understand whether the compound enters and binds to the protein in blood cells. If the whole blood/plasma distribution ratio is greater than 1, it means that the compound enters the blood cells and the PK parameters calculated with the plasma concentration will not reflect the PK properties of the compound well.
