| Short Description |
The elderly are the fastest growing subset of population in developed countries and chronic kidney disease has been recognized as one of a number of chronic diseases primarily affecting the adults over the age of 65 years. Understanding the prevalence and causes of chronic kidney disease, as well as the association with other organ systems diseases in the elderly is essential for prevention, effective treatment, and decrease of a significant financial burden on the health care system. Integral to efforts to slow or halt chronic kidney disease progression is an understanding of its expected course, and the factors that predict and influence its development. In elderly patients with end-stage renal disease, presence or absence of significant comorbidity is much more important than the chronological age when choosing appropriate renal replacement treatment option. The choice between hemodialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis is largely dependant on preferences of the local team and the patient. Furthermore, transplantation should be considered in all reasonably fit and carefully selected patients older than 65. Only the permanent shortage of suitable kidneys limits our ability to treat all those who could benefit from this type of treatment. Renal transplant recipients may benefit in terms of both survival and quality of life even if older than 70 years and beyond. Immunosuppression in these patients should be moderate |
