Abstract
Dentists should consult the patient's nephrologist to obtain the most recent medical records for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) including the stage and level of control. Patients on hemodialysis are ideally seen the day after dialysis with consideration to arteriovenous shunt placement for blood pressure measurement and avoiding or changing the dose of certain drugs based on the patient's glomerular filtration rate. Drugs cleared during hemodialysis may require a supplemental dose. Patients taking oral anticoagulants and requiring oral surgery should have the international normalized ratio (INR) measured the day of the procedure.
