Raises awareness of rising CKD burden in older adults with multimorbidity; leaves open optimal prevention and management strategies for future study.
Over the last few decades, the prevalence of chronic renal impairment has increased throughout the population, especially in the older age group. This is not just a consequence of the general increase in longevity, but is also caused by a higher incidence related to improved survival of patients with chronic diseases affecting renal function, such as diabetes, hypertension and ischaemic heart disease, and improved survival of patients with established renal failure.
