Abstract
The kidneys are important for eliminating most medications from the body. As kidney function decreases, patients are at increased risk for adverse events when medications are dosed inappropriately. Issues surrounding estimating kidney function along with case reports of inappropriate medication prescribing from different medication classes in kidney patients are highlighted for the nurse practitioner.
