[Acute renal failure in the aged]

M Vlaho, J Kindler, H G Sieberth

    Zeitschrift Fur Gerontologie
    |September 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Aging leads to declining organ function, increasing risks for older adults with acute renal failure. Prompt monitoring and management of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance are crucial for preventing complications and improving outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology and Nephrology: Focuses on age-related physiological changes and kidney function decline.

    Context:

    • Ageing significantly impacts overall organism performance, with kidney function loss posing a critical hazard to older individuals.
    • Acute renal failure in the elderly presents diagnostic challenges, requiring differentiation from functional renal insufficiency.

    Purpose:

    • To highlight the specific risks and management strategies for acute renal failure in elderly patients.
    • To emphasize the importance of meticulous monitoring and timely intervention for water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance.

    Summary:

    • Elderly patients with acute renal failure require high caloric and amino acid intake, with treatment adjusted for lowered creatinine clearance.
    • Prophylactic haemofiltration is advised at specific creatinine and urea levels to prevent uraemic complications.

  • Preventing secondary vital function disturbances is critical, as they drastically increase mortality rates.

    • Impact:

    • This research underscores the need for specialized care protocols for geriatric acute renal failure patients.
    • Effective management can significantly reduce the high mortality associated with acute renal failure in the elderly, especially when other vital functions are compromised.
