NCT ID NCT07241494
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether having a clinical pharmacist work alongside doctors in a hospital ward could reduce medication errors in patients with kidney disease. Researchers followed 160 adults with reduced kidney function, comparing usual care, doctor education, and active pharmacist involvement. The goal was to see if pharmacist-led checks and recommendations could make drug use safer and more effective.
