Abstract
Infection in a patient with renal insufficiency can be very difficult to treat. Antimicrobial agents that are not excreted by the kidneys to a significant degree may be given in full dosage but may be ineffective against the causative organisms. Other drugs whose toxicity is increased in the presence of renal insufficiency sometimes must be used in reduced dosage. Recommended dosage schedules are presented.
