Description
Su Zhang and six co-authors study drug problems in kidney patients in a 2023 paper. People with chronic kidney disease take many drugs and their bodies handle them differently, so mistakes are common. A clinical pharmacist joined care on a kidney ward of a large Chinese hospital for a year, hunting for drug-related problems and acting on them.
Hundreds of problems were found in nearly half the patients before the pharmacist stepped in. Safety issues were the largest share, and drug choice was the most common cause. Antibiotics and heart drugs were most often involved. Most advice was accepted, most problems were fully resolved, and the share of patients with problems fell sharply afterward.
