Sažetak
The risk factors for adverse drugs reactions are polymedication, comorbidities, old age, and female sex. Kidneys are the most important organs in the excretory system, especially for clearance of xenobiotics and products of cell metabolism. Kidney insufficiency leads to the accumulation of active metabolites of many drugs in blood and can cause drug toxicity. In patients with chronic kidney disease, it is very important to pay attention to side effects. The most common cause of inappropriate drug dosage is type A according to the Rawlins- Thompson classification. Type A or dose-related sideeffects is preventable by applying the correct dosing of medications. Side-effects of drugs represent a large problem due to the cost of treatment and are very common in the senior population with comorbidities
