The management of patients with renal impairment is a challenge. Patients frequently have multiple system involvement and require appropriate therapy, but renal impairment affects drug metabolism and makes drug interactions likely. The author has had a lifelong interest in this subject and has contributed in very important ways to our current understanding of how drugs can be used more safely in patients with kidney disease. In this directory about 1,500 drugs are covered with very specific recommendations (contraindications, dosage modifications, and potential nephrotoxicity) concerning use in patients with kidney disease.
