Diuretics are among the most frequently used drugs in old age. Some 12.8% old people living at home use them. Renal changes caused by old age and disease as well as changes of the cardiovascular apparatus and changes in the composition of the organism associated with old age and regulation of the intake and excretion of electrolytes increase the risk of undesirable effects of diuretic treatment in old people.
