Quantifying antimicrobial exposure: hazards in populations with end-stage renal disease.
Using a rigorously collected data set of antimicrobial use among patients receiving chronic hemodialysis, antimicrobial use was calculated using 3 different methodologies: daily defined dose, days of therapy, and start-stop days. Estimates of antimicrobial use varied by as much as 10-fold, depending on the type of antimicrobial.

Implementing an antimicrobial stewardship program in out-patient dialysis units.
The purpose of this review is to highlight the key elements and interventions of antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP). The Infectious Disease Society of America and the Society of Healthcare Epidemiology of America have provided evidence-based guidelines for the development and implementation of an ASP. Many of their recommendations can be adapted to the out-patient dialysis setting.

Oral azole antifungal medications and risk of acute liver injury, overall and by chronic liver disease status.
The researchers evaluated incidence rates of acute liver injury associated with oral azole antifungals. They concluded that rates of acute liver injury were similarly low for fluconazole, ketoconazole, and itraconazole. Events were more common among voriconazole and posaconazole users but were comparable. Pre-existing chronic liver disease increased risk of azole-induced liver injury.
