Interstitial nephritis is characterized by fever, rash, and eosinophilia associated with proteinuria and hematuria. In one study included in the meta-analysis, an overrepresentation of CYP2C9 variant alleles was observed in 81% of patients requiring

This is important for all patients regardless of their health literacy level. Poisoned patients may require monitoring of vital signs, ventilatory adequacy (ie, blood gases and pulse oximetry), and chest radiographs to assess the degree of pulmonary

Although the physicochemical properties of the drug are constant, the physiologic functions often vary in different patient populations. Clearance changes occur in patients when the blood flow to extracting organs changes or when the extraction ratio

Materials should be translated by certified translators and not by staff members, family, or friends who state that they are bilingual. Compared with drug tolerance procedures, graded challenges involve higher starting doses and fewer steps in the do

The result is that a much more empirical approach is used to describe the relationship between concentration and effect in clinical pharmacology studies. Table e1-10 provides examples of technologies available to help with medication adherence. The t

As healthcare continues to shift to more electronic resources and connectivity, the most vulnerable populations may incidentally be left behind. Affected patients, particularly those with extensive epidermal involvement, should be managed in a burn c

The benefit of rapid diagnostic technology is to quickly identify and/or rule out infectious pathogens, streamline antimicrobial therapy, and improve infection control measures such as isolation. Cabozantinib-related toxicities were similar to other

However, more serious implications may arise if a person is predicted to respond poorly to a drug based on genotype, and treatment options are limited. Patients with HLA DR15 are most likely to respond if they are younger than 60 years, have IPSS ris
