It is recommended that potentially nephrotoxic medications are withheld during acute illness, including sulfonylureas, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, diuretics, metformin, angiotensin receptor blockers, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SADMANS). It is unknown if Australian pharmacists currently provide sick day medication management advice regarding SADMANS medications. Hence, we aimed to identify current DRPs and the recommendations made during residential medication management reviews (RMMRs), especially with SADMANS medications. Methods: A retrospective review of 408 RMMRs was conducted. DRPs and pharmacist recommendations were classified according to a modified DOCUMENT system. General practitioners\u2019 (GP) recommendations were also categorised. Results: Over 97% of residents experienced at least one DRP. Common problems for non-SADMANS medications were \u201ctoxicity or adverse drug reaction\u201d, \u201cdrug selection\u201d and \u201cover\/underdosing\u201d and those for SADMANS medications included \u201ctoxicity or adverse drug reaction\u201d, \u201cmonitoring\u201d and \u201cdrug selection\u201d. GPs agreed with pharmacist recommendations approximately 40% of the time. No pharmacists provided sick day medication management advice for SADMANS medications. Conclusion: DRPs remain highly prevalent in aged care facilities. Medication reviews effectively identify and resolve DRPs approximately 40% of the time, but do not currently minimise the risk associated with using SADMANS medications during sick days, which is a potential area of improvement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13020343","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,8]],"date-time":"2024-01-08T05:21:38Z","timestamp":1704691298000},"page":"343","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Drug-Related Problems and Sick Day Management Considerations for Medications that Contribute to the Risk of Acute Kidney Injury"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-1018-3931","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mimi","family":"Truong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medicine and Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney 2006, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7208-2330","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wubshet","family":"Tesfaye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medicine and Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney 2006, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7648-007X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kamal","family":"Sud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sydney Medical School, Faculty of Medicine and Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney 2006, Australia"},{"name":"Nepean Kidney Research Centre, Department of Renal Medicine, Nepean Hospital, Nepean and Blue Mountains Local Health District, Kingswood 2747, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Connie","family":"Van","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medicine and Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney 2006, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shrey","family":"Seth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), The University of Sydney, Sydney 2006, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nerida","family":"Croker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Meditrax, Drummoyne 2047, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ronald Lynel","family":"Castelino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medicine and Health, The University of Sydney, Sydney 2006, Australia"},{"name":"Pharmacy Department, Blacktown Hospital, WSLHD, Blacktown 2148, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"49","DOI":"10.1007\/s40266-022-00983-6","article-title":"Risk factors predictive of adverse drug events and drug-related falls in aged care residents: Secondary analysis from the ReMInDAR trial","volume":"40","author":"Dorj","year":"2023","journal-title":"Drugs Aging"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"249","DOI":"10.1007\/s40264-021-01144-1","article-title":"The Extent of Medication-Related Hospital Admissions in Australia: A Review from 1988 to 2021","volume":"45","author":"Lim","year":"2022","journal-title":"Drug Saf."},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S201","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcjd.2017.11.004","article-title":"Chronic Kidney Disease in Diabetes","volume":"42","author":"McFarlane","year":"2018","journal-title":"Can.
