Abstract: The chronic renal failure(CRF) is one of the common diseases in clinic. CRF affects the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drug which either eliminate by renal or by nonrenal routes. The tests in vivo and in vitro demonstrated that renal impairment especially end-stage renal disease (ESRD) not only decreased the excretion by kidney, but also the alterations in the activities of and interplay between uptake and efflux transporters and metabolic enzymes significantly affected the PK disposition and resulting exposure of drugs cleared through nonrenal. CRF can directly inhibit the activity of various metabolic enzymes and transporters and in the other sides the CRF can down-regulate the mRNA and protein expression of metabolic enzymes and multiple intestinal and hepatic drug transporters. The reasons of those inhibition effects need more researches. The hemodialysis can partially offset or reverse this kinds of inhibition and dialysis clearance exist in the patient with ESRD.
