- Title
Age‐adapted eGFR thresholds underestimate the risks beyond kidney failure associated with CKD in older populations.
- Authors
Lees, Jennifer S.; Shlipak, Michael G.
- Abstract
The article discusses the age-adapted chronic kidney disease (CKD) thresholds proposed by a group of experts in nephrology and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measurement in 2019. Topics include potential advantages of an age-adapted CKD definition in older people, potential disadvantages of an age-adapted CKD definition in older people, and recommendations on CKD diagnosis.
