Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 , Renal dopamine is correct, I have also heard them call it " renal dose " dopamine. This means that the patient is evidently having some amount of kidney failure, so they have to be very careful with the amount of dopamine that they give him. Some antibiotics are also given as " renal dose " . So take out the quotes and give the patient renal dopamine.

If he does not respond to this promptly, we will need to consider in-hospital treatment with (s/l) **renal** dopamine and probably a Lasix drip. " Is " renal " domapine correct?
