Renal Pharmacotherapy for Elderly

Renal pharmacotherapy for the elderly focuses on safely using medications to manage kidney health and related conditions, such as high blood pressure and diabetes. As people age, their kidneys can become less efficient, affecting how medications are processed. Therefore, doctors must carefully select and adjust doses of medications to avoid side effects and interactions. Regular monitoring is essential, as changes in kidney function can require adjustments in treatment. Overall, the goal is to optimize kidney function and overall health while minimizing risks associated with medications in older adults.
