Dosage adjustment is an essential standard of care of patients with chronic kidney disease. Although main aspect for dosage adjustment
is decreased renal elimination, it is necessary to understand potential impact in the case of change in drug absorption, distribution, non-
-renal elimination and pharmacodynamics. Another significant part of dosage adjustment is assessment of glomerular filtration rate.
It is important for this reason to distinguish among particular methods of estimation of glomerular filtration rate or creatinine clearance
and in the case of crucial differences to choose the most suitable one for individual patient.
