Tag: Dialyzable drugs

Over 2 million people worldwide receive dialysis treatment for kidney disease, making it a critical consideration for managing chronic conditions. For these patients, understanding which drugs are cleared by dialysis is essential for ensuring medication efficacy and preventing toxicity. The dialyzability of a medication is influenced by its specific physical and chemical properties.

Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) often take between 5 and 14 different medications daily [1.7.4]. Understanding which medications get dialyzed out is critical for avoiding therapeutic failure or toxicity in this complex patient population.
