Summary

The aging adult population will double to 71.5 million by the year 2010. Rates of chronic kidney disease (CKD) are increasing with a trend towards multiple comorbidities including congestive heart failure and diabetes mellitus (DM). Chronic diseases including CKD can leave the individual more frail than their peers and can increase morbidity and mortality risks. Based on these trends, a geriatric approach, meaning a focus on maintaining functional capacity and quality of life, may be beneficial for care of the older patient with CKD. This requires collaboration among the healthcare team members and referral to community resources.
