1. A method for determining the actual concentration of at least one substance to be analyzed in a living organism, comprising the steps of:

  • introducing a perfusion fluid directly into the tissue of said living organism;

    collecting said perfusion fluid after partial equilibration with said substance to be analyzed;

    testing said perfusion fluid for said substance to be analyzed to obtain a provisional concentration value of said substance;

    additionally testing said perfusion fluid for at least one endogenous marker variable with a known tissue value to obtain a test value;

    calculating the degree of partial equilibration from said tissue value and said test value; and

    calculating the actual concentration of said substance to be analyzed from said degree of partial equilibration and said provisional concentration value.
