Abstract
Dialysis patients often suffer from multiple comorbidities that require complex medication regimens. Managing drug interactions in these patients is crucial to prevent adverse events and optimize treatment outcomes. This essay aims to explore the assessment of drug-drug and drug-disease interactions in dialysis patients. The importance of identifying and managing these interactions in this vulnerable population will be discussed, along with strategies for optimizing medication therapy. The results of recent studies on drug interactions in dialysis patients will be analyzed, and the implications for clinical practice will be discussed. In conclusion, a multidisciplinary approach involving pharmacists, nephrologists, and other healthcare providers is essential for improving medication safety and efficacy in dialysis patients.
