  • Abstract:
  • Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a widespread condition in the geriatric population, and is often complicated by common co-morbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. The progressive nature of CKD leading to generalized health effects eventually results in substantial morbidity and mortality in the elderly. Confronting CKD in this demographic requires early detection, effective management, and a multidisciplinary approach. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and co-morbidities and management strategies for CKD among geriatric patients while enlightening on the challenges and future directions in research and clinical practice. Methods: A comprehensive review of recent literature and clinical guidelines on CKD diagnosis, treatment, and management specifically in the elderly has been carried out. Some of the issues described include new biomarkers, treatment developments, and the growing role of digital health. Results and Conclusions: Early detection and integrated care models are critical for achieving beneficial outcomes in geriatric patients suffering from CKD. Innovative therapies, personalized types of treatment, and improvement in digital health technologies are also overbearingly promising answers to the challenge of CKD in older patients. But further research must be undertaken to close the gaps in knowledge, particularly with respect to frailty, Polypharmacy, and co-morbidity management.
