This chapter describes the high prevalence of chronic kidney disease in older adults, age differences in rates of progression to end-stage renal disease, clinical significance of moderate reductions in estimated glomerular filtration rate in older adults, and comorbidity and geriatric syndromes in older adults with kidney diseases. We describe outcomes and treatment strategies among older adults with advanced kidney disease and describe key elements of a patient-centered approach to the care of this population.
