[Analgesic Drug Therapy in Kidney Patients]
Abstract:
Analgesic drug therapy in kidney patients needs special expertise. Patients with kidney disease frequently have pain and they have chronic pain more than others. Some analgesic drugs have a nephrotoxic potential and co-analgesics such as anticonvulsive, antidepressive and antipsychotic drugs need a dose adjustment to kindey function. When treating kidney patients with morphine, the accumulation kinetics of the M6 glucuronide must be observed. Otherwise, the risk increases for respiratory depression.
