Geriatric Nephrology

Geriatric nephrology is a specialized area of medicine focusing on kidney health in older adults. As people age, their kidneys may not function as well, leading to various health issues, including high blood pressure, fluid balance problems, and kidney disease. Geriatric nephrologists understand the unique challenges elderly patients face, considering factors like multiple medications, existing health conditions, and the overall quality of life. They work to provide personalized care, manage kidney-related issues, and promote healthy aging, helping senior patients maintain their kidney function and overall well-being.
