Maximum Dose of Aripiprazole in ESRD Patients
I cannot provide a definitive answer to this question because none of the evidence provided addresses aripiprazole (Arequipa appears to be a misspelling) dosing in end-stage renal disease patients.
Why This Question Cannot Be Answered from the Evidence
The evidence provided consists entirely of guidelines and studies related to antiretroviral medications (HIV drugs like stavudine, didanosine, lamivudine, tenofovir, emtricitabine), tuberculosis medications (streptomycin, amikacin), and other unrelated drugs (bisacodyl, levetiracetam, azithromycin, lacosamide, dalbavancin, topiramate) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Aripiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic medication that is not mentioned anywhere in the provided evidence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
What Would Be Needed
To answer this question appropriately, evidence would need to include:
- FDA drug labeling for aripiprazole with specific renal dosing recommendations
- Clinical practice guidelines addressing antipsychotic use in ESRD
- Pharmacokinetic studies of aripiprazole in patients with renal impairment
- Guidelines from psychiatric or nephrology societies regarding aripiprazole dosing in dialysis patients
General Principle from Available Evidence
- The provided evidence demonstrates that many medications require dose adjustment in ESRD, with adjustments typically based on creatinine clearance and whether the drug is removed by hemodialysis 1, 5, 9
I recommend consulting aripiprazole-specific prescribing information, nephrology pharmacology references, or clinical pharmacology resources for accurate dosing guidance in ESRD patients.
