Because of many advances in medicine and biotechnology, an
increasing number of individuals are surviving into old age, and we
are now challenged to apply sophisticated medical knowledge to the
care of the elderly citizen. In nephrology, individuals older than
65 are the fastest-growing group of patients requiring dialysis.
Similarly, in increasing numbers, elderly persons present
themselves with renal complaints to their family doctor, the
geriatrician or the nephrologist. In August 1998, with the
financial support of the John A. Hartford Foundation, leaders in
geriatrics, nephrology and urology met in Jasper, Alberta, for one
week to discuss their areas of special knowledge and to learn from
each other. Geriatricians learned from nephrologists, nephrologists
learned from geriatricians, and both came to see that they had much
in common. All participants discovered a common interest, challenge
and commitment, namely, to provide the best renal care to a
progressively aging population and to teach their fellows the
principles of the other collaborating specialties. This book
contains all the papers presented at this meeting and also the text
of group discussions on Training and Education, Special Clinical
Problems in Geriatric Patients, and Recommendations in Basic and
Clinical Research. Nephrology and Geriatrics Integrated will prove
useful to both nephrologists and geriatricians in their efforts to
manage the renal complaints of the elderly, who come to them in
increasing numbers.
