Pharmacologic Renal Therapy

This article discusses some of the recommended pharmacologic treatments for patients with renal drug toxicity, acute kidney injury (AKI), and chronic kidney injury (CKI). The treatment of AKI often consists of treating patients in emergency departments. Renal pharmacologic management in an acute care setting consists of identifying the cause of AKI, reviewing serum creatinine levels, administration of crystalloids, and the elimination of nephrotoxic agents.
