Kidney Disease Management in Elderly

Kidney disease management in the elderly involves closely monitoring kidney function, managing symptoms, and addressing other health conditions. Geriatric nephrology focuses on individualized care, recognizing that older adults may have multiple illnesses. Treatment options include dietary changes, medication adjustments, and, if necessary, dialysis. Regular check-ups are essential to track kidney health and prevent complications. It's important to consider the patient's overall quality of life and preferences when making treatment decisions, ensuring they receive the most appropriate and compassionate care tailored to their unique needs.
