There are currently about 52 million people over 65 years of age in the United States, or 16.5% of the U.S. population. This percentage is expected to reach 70 million, or 22%, by 2050. This means that current nephrology trainees can expect to see an increasing number of older patients in their practice throughout their professional lives. Providing nephrology care for older patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires knowledge and skills specific to this population. CKD patients usually require complicated medication routines, complex dietary restrictions, frequent medical visits, and care from multiple physicians. This book will help practitioners better handle the full care of this segment of their patient population and work successfully among geriatricians, internists, and family practitioners. This volume covers everything from evaluation, epidemiology, and a wide range of complicating conditionsto treatment options and palliative care. All chapters follow a consistent, easy-to-follow structure, which includes a case presentation, didactics, and a visual abstract. Written by experts in the field, this book is a critical guide for all practitioners who work with aging kidney disease patients. .
