Progression of kidney disease in elderly stage 3 and 4 chronic kidney disease patients

Purpose The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been rising steadily in the elderly population. We studied the rate of progression of CKD in this population and the factors associated with progression of CKD to better identify patients who are likely to progress to ESRD. Methods This was...

Description
Summary:Purpose The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been rising steadily in the elderly population. We studied the rate of progression of CKD in this population and the factors associated with progression of CKD to better identify patients who are likely to progress to ESRD. Methods This was an observational study including 4562 patients older than 65 years with two outpatient estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs) of 60 ml/min/1.73 m 2 (March 1, 2001, and March 31, 2008) at VA healthcare facilities. Patients with eGFR
