Geriatric Renal Failure Management

Geriatric renal failure management involves caring for older adults whose kidneys are not working properly. This includes monitoring their kidney function regularly, managing related health issues like high blood pressure or diabetes, adjusting medications to avoid further kidney damage, and ensuring a proper diet low in protein, salt, and phosphorus. Additionally, hydration is important, but fluid intake may need to be limited. Regular follow-ups with healthcare providers help track progress, and in more severe cases, dialysis or other interventions may be necessary. The focus is on maintaining quality of life and preventing complications.
