title: [Drug therapy of the kidney patient].
abstract: In patients suffering from renal failure pharmacological therapy is performed to influence the causal disease, to mitigate symptoms of the uremic syndrome, or to treat additional illness. Immunosuppressive therapy may be initiated in patients with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. Anemia and osteopathia have to be treated in most patients with renal insufficiency. Medication with antibiotics and digitalization shows special aspects in patients with impaired renal function.
