Geriatric Nephrology and Aging Populations

Geriatric nephrology focuses on tailored approaches to diagnosis, treatment, and management, considering the interplay of aging, polypharmacy, and multiple chronic conditions. It emphasizes a holistic approach, integrating geriatric assessment to address functional status, cognitive health, and quality of life. Geriatric nephrology addresses the unique challenges of kidney care in aging populations, recognizing that older adults often experience distinct renal issues due to physiological changes and comorbidities. As people age, kidney function naturally declines, increasing the risk of chronic kidney disease and complicating the management of other health conditions. Older adults are also more susceptible to acute kidney injury and may experience altered drug metabolism, which affects treatment efficacy and safety. Geriatric nephrology focuses on managing age-related renal impairment, optimizing drug therapies, and preventing complications such as cardiovascular disease, frailty, and cognitive decline. Treatment strategies must balance the complexities of comorbid conditions, polypharmacy, and quality of life concerns, emphasizing a patient-centered approach for aging populations.
