This unique book reviews the information available in the
literature regarding the new syndrome, frailty, in patients with
various renal conditions, such as acute kidney injury, chronic
kidney disease, as well as dialysis and transplant patients. The
topic is of importance in nephrology, specifically
nephrogeriatrics, since frailty is a condition affecting many
elderly patients and which is becoming increasingly common in
medical practice. As such, there is a considerable need for
information to assist professionals treating these patients. The
book includes chapters on the frailty syndrome (definition,
evaluation and treatment), the main geriatric syndromes (gait
disorder, falls, incontinence, and delirium), the main renal
syndromes (acute renal injury, chronic kidney disease) as well as
dialysis and kidney transplant, and the relationship between
geriatrics and renal syndromes. Frailty and Kidney Disease: A
Practical Guide to Clinical Management is an essential resource for
general practitioners, researchers, internal medicine physicians,
geriatricians, and nephrologists.
