AB KEY  POINTSEstimating  kidney  function  is  essential  for  drug  dosing,  staging  kidney  disease,  and  screening  for  complications.  Creatininebased  estimation  equations  are  commonly  used  for  these  purposes.Slowing  progression  of  chronic  kidney  disease  (CKD)  is  important  to  reduce  risk  of  end-stage  kidney  disease,  dialysis,  cardiovascular  complications,  and  other  CKD-related  conditions.Patients  with  CKD  tend  to  have  numerous  medications  prescribed  by  multiple  practitioners.  Medication  reconciliation  is  therefore  an  essential  Medicare  Therapy  Management  (MTM)  service  component  for  patients  with  CKD.Hospital  admissions  and  readmissions  are  frequent  for  patients  with  CKD.  Discharge  counseling  and  educational  interventions  are  important  strategies  for  improving  medication  use  in  patients  with  kidney  disease.
