Drug therapy in renal failure: dosing guidelines for adults. Part I: Antimicrobial agents, analgesics

W M Bennett et al. Ann Intern Med. 1980 Jul.

Abstract

Data are presented in tabular form that provide guidelines for drug use in adult patients with renal insufficiency. The data are derived from the current medical literature. If specific information about a drug is unavailable or conflicting, emphasis is given to normal pharmacokinetic variables in arriving at recommendations for therapy. Nephrotoxicity or adverse effects in patients with renal disease are noted and adjustments for dialysis suggested.
