How to Adjust Medication Dosages in Renal Disorders?

Medication dosages often need to be adjusted based on the patient's glomerular filtration rate (GFR). For instance, certain antibiotics, antivirals, and antifungals require dose adjustments to prevent nephrotoxicity. The Cockcroft-Gault equation or the MDRD formula may be used to estimate renal function and guide dosing.
