    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Geriatric Medicine

    Background:

    • Renal diseases are prevalent in the elderly population.
    • Common conditions include acute renal failure, prerenal azotemia, multiple myeloma kidney, and urinary tract obstruction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review common renal diseases in the elderly.
    • To discuss the application and considerations of dialysis in older patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of renal diseases in the elderly.
    • Analysis of dialysis efficacy and challenges in geriatric patients.

    Main Results:

    • Acute renal failure, prerenal azotemia, multiple myeloma kidney, and obstruction are frequent in elderly individuals.
    • Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are effective for renal disease management in older adults.

    Conclusions:

    • Dialysis is a viable treatment for elderly patients with renal disease.
    • Tailored approaches are essential for optimizing dialysis in geriatric populations.
