Dose-adjusting medications for chronic or acute kidney impairment is critical to maintain efficacy and mitigate the toxicity of many medications. Pharmacists face challenges in choosing best practices for determining kidney function and estimating this appropriately in the setting of acute changes in hemodynamic status. This session will examine updates such as removing race from equations for estimating kidney function and transitioning to the use of eGFR for drug-related decision-making and how these concepts influence patient care. Case-based scenarios will be presented throughout to examine the best ways to dose medications eliminated via the kidneys.

Demystifying Estimates of Kidney Function Activity Number: 0217-0000-25-114-H01-P Contact Hour(s): 1.50 Activity Type: Application BasedLearning Objectives Describe the evolution of kidney function estimation equations including rationale for the development of non-race-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations. Interpret the rationale, recommendations, and supporting evidence for using non-race-based eGFR equations rather than eCrCl (Cockcroft-Gault (C-G) equation) for drug-related decisions. Examine various methods for estimating eGFR for drug-related decision-making. Select the most appropriate eGFR equation for drug dosing depending on the clinical scenario. Formulate a plan to best implement the change from the Cockcroft-Gault (C-G) eCrCl equation to the CKD-EPI eGFR equations for drug dosing within your pharmacy practice.
