Contraception in patients with kidney disease

🆘 Help! I have a woman of reproductive age in my office for contraception advice!

25-year-old with stage III CKD (eGFR 42) due to reflux nephropathy.

How comfortable are you with providing advice? Does CKD impact the type of birth control a patient can safely use?
