Abstract

Drug dosage adjustment for patients with acute or chronic kidney disease is an accepted standard of practice. The challenge is how to accurately estimate a patient's kidney function in both acute and chronic kidney disease and determine the influence of renal replacement therapies on drug disposition. Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) held a conference to investigate these issues and propose recommendations for practitioners, researchers, and those involved in the drug development and regulatory arenas. The conference attendees discussed the major challenges facing drug dosage adjustment for patients with kidney disease. In particular, although glomerular filtration rate is the metric used to guide dose adjustment, kidney disease does affect nonrenal clearances, and this is not adequately considered in most pharmacokinetic studies. There are also inadequate studies in patients receiving all forms of renal replacement therapy and in the pediatric population. The conference generated 37 recommendations for clinical practice, 32 recommendations for future research directions, and 24 recommendations for regulatory agencies (US Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency) to enhance the quality of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic information available to clinicians. The KDIGO Conference highlighted the gaps and focused on crafting paths to the future that will stimulate research and improve the global outcomes of patients with acute and chronic kidney disease.

  • Quantification of eGFR levels is essential for modifications of medication dosages or restrictions of use.

    “Quantification of eGFR levels is essential for modifications of medication dosages or restrictions of use (Fig. 11.1) (23,24)”

    From 11. Chronic Kidney Disease and Risk Management: Standards of Care in Diabetes—2026 (2026) · cites this paper as [23]

    The Recommendations section says GFR should be used to evaluate kidney function for drug dosing, and Table 3 directs clinicians to assess eGFR or creatinine clearance when individualizing dosage regimens. These passages support using kidney-function estimates to modify doses, but they do not establish that eGFR levels determine restrictions on whether a medication may be used. The paper also recommends the most accurate assessment method for the individual patient, which may be estimated or measured GFR. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
