The inclusion criteria were inpatients suffering from CKD with or without complications, CKD patients with stage ≥ 2, and an age range of ≥ 25 years. Results: The findings of this study indicate that DRPs in CKD patients were due to drug interactions (78,07%), drug duplication (10,32%), and polypharmacy (24,51%). The outcome of therapy in CKD patients was based on achieved GFR values (76,78%) and those not achieved (23,22%). The results of the study showed that there was influenced the outcome of therapy, with a p-value of 0,040. Conclusion: The influence of DRPs on therapeutic outcomes in patients has is significant, with their presence reducing the effectiveness of therapy and increasing the risk of complications.
