Age-Related Renal Disorders

Age-related renal disorders refer to changes in kidney function that occur as people grow older. The kidneys help filter waste from the blood and regulate important substances like salt and water. As we age, kidney function may decline due to various factors, including reduced blood flow, increased inflammation, and changes in kidney structure. This can lead to issues such as fluid overload, electrolyte imbalances, and higher risk of chronic kidney disease. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including proper hydration, diet, and managing chronic conditions, is crucial to support kidney health in older adults.
