During acute kidney injury (AKI), medications normally excreted through the kidneys would likely be:

During acute kidney injury (AKI), the kidneys' ability to function and filter waste products from the blood is impaired. This means that substances that would typically be excreted by the kidneys will not be handled in the usual manner. Specifically, medications that rely on renal excretion might be retained in the body. This retention can lead to an accumulation of these medications, which could potentially cause toxicity or increased side effects, given that the normal clearance mechanisms are disrupted.

Moreover, while some medications may still be excreted in decreased amounts, they are not completely eliminated as they normally would be. Thus, the body's ability to process and eliminate these substances is compromised, emphasizing the importance of monitoring medication dosages and effects in patients with AKI. This knowledge assists in adjusting treatment plans to ensure patient safety and effective management of their condition.
