Age-Related Renal Function Decline

Age-Related Renal Function Decline refers to the gradual decrease in kidney performance that typically occurs as people get older. Kidneys filter waste and excess fluid from the blood, and with age, this filtering ability can diminish due to changes in kidney structure and blood flow. This decline may lead to an increased risk of conditions like high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease. While some decline is normal, maintaining healthy habits such as proper hydration, a balanced diet, and regular medical check-ups can help support kidney health as we age.
