Summary

The study aims to investigate adherence and polypharmacy in elderly patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). The investigators look into possible factors or predictors that may affect adherence and reduce polypharmacy. Factors could be: quality of life, anxiety and depression, beliefs about medicine and cognitive impairment.

The investigators are planning an intervention with the screening tool Screening Tool of Older Person's potentially inappropriate Prescription/Screening tool to Alert to Right Treatment (STOPP/START ) criteria to evaluate medication lists of the participating patients.
