Abstract: Objective To investigate the use of antibacterials in patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD) and evaluate the drug safety for providing some clinical reference. Methods Inpatients with CKD over a 10-month period from January to October, 2014 in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results In the 1 793 cases of hospitalized patients with CKD, the incidence of infection was 20.86%, mainly respiratory and urinary tract infections. 495 cases were treated with antibacterials, 345 cases for treating and 150 cases for preventing. In cases for treating, pathogenic bacteria were detected in 69.52% of the patients. Quinolones and cephalosporins were the most commonly used antibacterials. There were 66 cases with drug combinations, 22 cases with adverse drug reactions, and the adverse reactions of digestive system were the most common. Conclusion Inpatients with CKD are basically safe to use antibiotics. The dosage regimen should be adjusted by renal condition in the clinic.
