Drug-Induced Acute Kidney Injury: A Standardized Patient Case for Clerkship Students

Introduction Drug-induced nephrotoxicity is a common yet preventable cause of acute renal failure. With the upward trend of prescription and over-the-counter medication use, it has become increasingly important for health care professionals to not only be able to identify acute renal failure precipi...

Results We found that few students were able to identify the underlying cause of the patient's acute condition, and none were successful at applying pharmacokinetic principles appropriately.
