Abstract:
The management of frailty in elderly patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been receiving increasing attention.Frailty in elderly patients with CKD has a high incidence and is used for risk prediction of adverse outcomes,including death,hospitalization,falls,dialysis and so on.A range of pathophysiological changes caused by CKD,aging and multimorbidity work together to promote the development of frailty.Treatment for CKD patients with frailty includes mainly nutritional support,exercise,drug therapy and comprehensive intervention.This article reviews recent research progress concerning frailty in elderly CKD patients.
