Why is clearance = k * Vd

As i remember k is the elimination rate constant.

And Vd is stated as the dose of Drug X given / plasma conc of drug X

Cl=UxV/P Cl=k xVd

k may be very similar to the UxV
the denominators are the same
And there is particular ratio for Vd depending on the pharmacokinetics of Drug X.
