| Summary: | Various anatomical and physiological changes occur in the kidneys on aging. Systemic hemodynamics in kidney functioning, which is quite important in aging-induced adaptation to these changes, undermines the ability of the kidneys. Acute kidney injury and fluid balance in the head, including the development of the deterioration of many older patients with kidney disease, are much more frequently observed. There is an increase in the frequency of comorbid diseases and related drug use in this age group. Many causes of renal pathology have emerged. |
