- It is the last step in a drugs journey through the body- proceeded by absorption, distribution and metabolism
- Excretion occurs through- -the kidneys -the skin & sweat -saliva -through expired air -and bile with is stored in the gallbladder! But the renal excretion through the kidneys is the most important.

- Since the kidneys are a major part of drug excretion, the nurse needs to take into account the age of the patient and whether the kidneys are healthy or damaged. No one wants a sad, unhealthy kidney
- Age of patient- since kidneys of newborns are not fully developed, they wont be able to excrete drugs as well as adults. This should be accounted for when medicating an infant
- If the kidneys are damaged, like in renal failure patients, there may be increased drug response and toxicty. Oh no!
- As you can see and now understand, excretion and the kidneys play an important role in staying healthy & happy! Mr. Kidney is so excited you decided to stop by and hopes to see you again soon!
