Consumer:

Nevirapine is partially removed by hemodialysis. In a pharmacokinetic study of nevirapine in patients with renal impairment, six subjects requiring hemodialysis exhibited a 44% reduction in nevirapine systemic exposure (AUC) over a one-week period. There was also evidence of accumulation of nevirapine hydroxy-metabolites in plasma in these patients; however, the clinical significance is unknown. A supplemental dose following each dialysis session is indicated for patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis.
