Consumer:

Hydroxyurea is primarily eliminated by the kidney. Approximately 80% of urea is excreted in the urine as unchanged drug or urea. Patients with marked renal impairment (CrCl < 60 mL/min or ESRD) may be at increased risk of toxicity associated with administration of hydroxyurea. Therapy with hydroxyurea should be administered cautiously to patients with compromised renal function.
