Synopsis
As the number of people aged 65 years and above rises, physicians are increasingly confronted by elderly patients with impaired renal function, altered drug metabolism and multiple comorbidities. This book examines in detail the nature of renal injury in the elderly and its optimal management. A wide range of key topics are covered, including end-stage renal disease, diabetic nephropathy, acute kidney injury, drug metabolism and renal toxicity, dialysis and its complications and the use of renal transplantation. In addition, the assessment of glomerular filtration rate in the elderly and the role of novel renal biomarkers are carefully examined. Quality of life issues, the significance of other age-related medical problems and end of life care are also discussed. This book will be of value not only to nephrologists but also to general practitioners, medical students, intensivists, cardiologists, pharmacologists and those working in related specialties.

From the book reviews:

"This book is designed as a reference for clinicians of different specialties to help guide their care of older patients with renal disease, especially acute kidney injury. Because of its concise nature, this is an excellent tool, not only for nephrologists and geriatricians, but also for internists and critical care physicians. ... This is not only a good reference for nephrologists, but also for hospitalists, critical care providers, and cardiologists." (Fnu Salahuddin, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2014)
