Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a disorder that is commonly seen in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and has a detrimental impact on the patients' clinical prognosis. Although a variety of factors contribute to the development of AKI in patients, drug‐induced AKI is a common occurrence in the ICU. With the widespread availability of clinical pharmacy services, the clinical pharmacist's consultation service to the healthcare team aids in the resolution of drug‐related issues and the enhancement of therapeutic outcomes. The involvement of a clinical pharmacist in the ICU team is expected to minimize the incidence of drug‐induced AKI and enhance therapeutic results. Therefore, the goal of our study was to demonstrate the impact of having a clinical pharmacist on the occurrence, stages, and treatment of AKI.
