P-glycoprotein, organic anion and cation transporters are involved in active tubular secretion of some drugs, and inhibition of these transporters can reduce renal elimination of the drugs, causing an increase in their serum levels [81]. Considering the key role of the kidneys in drug metabolism and excretion, kidney failure obviously modifies drug PK (table 4). Drug Dosing in Patients with Renal Failure The standard dose of a drug derives from studies in healthy volunteers and patients with normal capacity to metabolize and eliminate drugs [78].

Problematic Drugs in CKD Many drugs are commonly administered in CKD and dialysis patients. Here, we focus our attention on drugs required for management of vascular access: antimicrobials, anticoagulants, analgesics and anesthetics. PK parameters may be modified in kidney failure and dosing adjustment based on GFR may be required, especially for antimicrobials (table 6). Again, we want to emphasize that patients affected by renal failure are at high risk of adverse events induced by NSAIDs [86].
