title: Medication pitfalls in the CKD clinic: case presentations.
abstract: The kidney plays a major role in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs; therefore, medication errors can result from failure to properly adjust medications in patients with CKD. It is the responsibility of all health-care providers to work collectively when reviewing medications, initiating new medications, and adjusting doses of current medications. Awareness of appropriate dosing recommendations can significantly decrease medication error-associated morbidity, mortality, and cost.
