Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition characterized by atherosclerosis, cognitive impairment, physical limitations, biochemical abnormalities, and vascular aging. The proportion of those with a diagnosis of CKD in the older is increasing. With comprehensive geriatric assessment, it could be possible to detect the disorders that are related to biological aging. The aim is to evaluate geriatric syndromes like frailty, cognitive dysfunction, malnutrition, and polypharmacy in an aged population with pre-dialytic CKD (stages 3a–5), and to investigate possible relations with biochemical features and anticholinergic drug burden (ADB). |
