Understanding Medications and CKD
How Kidneys Process Medications
Kidneys filter waste products from medications and help remove them from the body. In CKD, this process is impaired, which can lead to medication buildup and increased side effects.
Many medications require dosage adjustments in kidney disease to prevent toxicity and ensure effectiveness. This is why it's crucial to inform all healthcare providers about your kidney function.
Safety Ratings Explained:
- Green (Safe): Generally safe in CKD with standard dosing
- Yellow (Caution): May need dosage adjustments and increased monitoring
- Red (Avoid): Contraindicated in CKD or high risk of kidney damage
Important Safety Tips
Always inform your healthcare providers about your kidney function and CKD stage
Ask about dosage adjustments for any new medications
Monitor for side effects and report any unusual symptoms
Keep an updated medication list and share it with all providers
