| Popis: | Renal issues are among the most commonly encountered complications in the intensive care unit, increasing mortality, morbidity, and health care costs. Older adult patients face an increased risk because of several factors, including the normal effects of aging and a higher rate of comorbid conditions that may affect kidney function. This article describes the classification of renal dysfunction, the effects of aging on kidney function, as well as additional risk factors, management strategies, and outcomes in the older adult population. |
