• AKI is a risk factor for CV event including mortality
• CV risk factors →↑ risk of AKI in the elderly
• AKI is a risk factor for subsequent CKD

Det erm inant s of Decreased GFR in A ging H um ans
Hoang K, et al. Kidney Int 64:1417, 2003
• Studies in healthy renal transplant donors, aged 23 to 69 years
• M easurements of GFR, determ inants of GFR, and morphometry
• Results: Age-associated decrease in GFR was due to reduction in renal plasma flow, and in Kf (ultrafiltration coefficient)

Com plicat ions of CKD
• The patient with CKD is less able to:
– Excrete water, sodium , potassium , phosphate
– Retain water or sodium
– Defend against m etabolic acidosis – Excrete phosphate, form Vitamin D, limit
PTH
– M ake erythropoeitin
– Excrete drugs and/or their m etabolites
Other Consequences in Older A dults
Campbell KH, et al. Curr Opin N ephrol HTN 17:298, 2008
• ↑ risk of non-cardiovascular m ortality
• Greater loss of lean m uscle m ass (men)
• Greater loss of bone m ineral density (m en)
• ↑ risk of hip fracture (wom en)
• Independent risk factor for falls and fractures in patients with osteoporosis
• ↑ risk of developing functional lim itations
Quant ificat ion of Kidney Function
• Serum creatinine : insensitive
– does not ↑ until > 50% of GFR is lost• Creatinine clearance (Ccr)
– expensive & rarely done correctly• Estim ation of Ccr(eGFR) from the serum creatinine
– Cockcroft-Gault formula:(140-age)(wt in kg)
GFR = --- [x 0.85 for female]
Cr x 72 – M DRD form ula
eGFR = 186.3 x (Cr)-1.154 x (age)-0.203 x 1.212 (if AA) x 0.74 (if female)
Caveats to eGFR
• An estimate based on population data
– not the patient’sactual GFR
• N either C-G nor M DRD has been validated in adults > age 70
• M DRD is not reliable when used in patients:
– GFR > 60 m l/ min/1.73 m2
– rapidly changing creatinine levels (e.g., AKI in ICU) – extremes in muscle m ass
• e.g. cachexia, paraplegia – Under age 18
Cyst at in C
Stevens et al, N EJM 354:2473, 2006; and others
• N ew indicator of kidney function
– better predictor of GFR than creatinine
• Freely filtered
/ not reabsorbed / no tubule secretion
• Useful in the elderly
– not influenced by age, gender, or muscle mass
• N ot yet clear whether useful for estim ating eGFR
Cyst at in C and M ort alit y Risk in t he Elderly
Shlipak M G, et al. JASN 17:254, 2006
• Longitudinal cohort study of healthy elderly
• 3075 subjects, ages 70-79, without disability
• Assessed mortality risk by quintile of serum cystatin C level
• Cystatin C = strong, independent risk fact or for m ortality

Lindeman RD, et al. Kidney Int 26:861, 1984
Renovascular Disease
• Primarily a disease of the older population
• Presentation, diagnosis, and treatment are, in principle, no different in older than in younger population
• Risk factors increase with increasing age:
– Smoking – Atherosclerosis
– Thromboembolic disease – Dissecting aneurysm – Vasculitis
– N eurofibromatosis

Odds Ratio
Electrolyte Disorders in the Elderly
• In general there are no specific changes in serum electrolyte levels in healthy elderly individuals
• However, because of decreasing ability of the aging kidney to adapt to various stimuli, elderly patients are more
susceptible to development of electrolyte disorder
Electrolyte Disorders in the Elderly
• Im paired N a excretion - Volume overload
• Im paired N a retention - hypovolem ia
• Im paired concentrating capacity - hypernatremia
• Im paired diluting ability - hyponatremia
• Decreased K stores, diuretics - hypokalemia
• Decreased aldo response - hyperkalemia
• Predisposition to Vitamin D deficiency - Calcium. Phosphate
CKD: Baseline Evaluat ion
• Assess eGFR (formula).
• Clinical evaluation
– presence of primary disorders, volume status, blood pressure, nephrotoxic drugs (N SAIDs)
• Adjust drug doses for lower GFR
• “Start low and go slow”
– Start drugs at lowest possible dose (higher risk of adverse effects)
• ? Screening for microalbuminuria
– ↑ incidence in the elderly– ↑ incidence in diseases of the elderly (hypertension, CHF) – N o clear data or guidelines as to how this would change outcome
Int erventions
• Progression of age-related nephropathy m ay be slowed experimentally by:
– Restriction of intake of total calories, protein, or sodium
– Renin-angiotensin system inhibition – Antioxidant therapy (e.g. taurine) – AGE inhibition
• Clinically - ?
Slow ing t he Progression of CKD
• Educate patient and family about CKD
• Remove/avoid nephrotoxins
– including N SAIDs, contrast, gadolinium…• Aggressive BP control (< 130/80 mmHg)
• ACEI or ARB as first line therapy, unless contraindicated,
– esp. if diabetic or proteinuric• Possibly helpful:
– Lipid control (LDL < 100) – Smoking cessation
Unansw ered Quest ions
• Is the age-related decline in GFR truly CKD?
