[Changes in kidney function and morphology in the aged]

A Schramm, M Jenett, K H Gerhardt

    Zeitschrift Fur Gerontologie
    |September 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Kidney function declines with age, leading to compensated renal insufficiency. While not requiring therapy, medication dosages need adjustment in older adults due to reduced renal function.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Geriatrics
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Aging causes significant macroscopic and microscopic kidney changes.
    • These alterations reduce renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate.
    • Kidney function decline is a normal part of aging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze kidney function markers in centenarians.
    • To correlate renal function with vitality and sex in the elderly.
    • To differentiate age-related kidney changes from pathological conditions using imaging.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and uric acid levels.
    • Evaluation of radiological renal cortical index (Vuorinen).
    • Application of sonographic B-scan for imaging.

    Main Results:

    • Reduced renal function in the elderly is typically compensated.
    • Age-related kidney changes present as increased renal cortical index.
    • Sonographic B-scan effectively visualizes and differentiates these changes.

    Conclusions:

    • Age-related kidney function reduction results in compensated insufficiency.
    • Medication dosages excreted by the kidneys require adjustment in older individuals.
    • Radiological and sonographic methods aid in assessing age-related renal changes.
