Abstract

Kidney impairment is common in the paediatric population. This includes patients with an acute deterioration in kidney function during an episode of acute kidney injury (AKI), patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and patients undergoing renal replacement therapy (RRT) or with kidney transplants. Patients with kidney impairment are at increased risk of adverse events associated with errors in drug prescribing and administration.1 This article aims to highlight several key principles prescribers should be aware of when managing these patients, with a particular focus on management in secondary care.
