What you'll learn

The prevalence of renal failure in the elderly during the last decades has been increasing rapidly. The management of ‘critically ill CRF patients’ in the elderly is a clinical challenge for nephrologists and intensivists. read more »»

Epidemiological studies have shown pre-existing renal dysfunction to be a significant cause for an increase in the risk of death, particularly for those patients admitted to the ICU.

Common pathophysiological mechanisms leading to kidney damage might result in the development of AKI and the worsening of CKD in older patients, thus causing end-stage kidney disease and acting as major risk factors for non-renal acute or chronic organ dysfunction.

This course on geriatric renal diseases will help you to understand prevalence, etiology, predisposing factors in the elderly, age-related changes, geriatric syndromes, management, and a lot more to upgrade your knowledge to the next level.
