Ativan has a half life of 12-16 hours which means that almost all of it is removed from the bloodstream in a couple of days. Ativan is converted into inactive metabolites. In case of a patient with renal failure the inactive metabolites may accumulate but in most cases they won't interfere with the drug's action.
