Abstract
Kidney disease and its comorbidities disproportionately affect older persons. Kidney disease modifying therapy is underutilized in older adults, as guidelines lack consensus on approaching diagnosis and treatment in older adults. This review aims to highlight the challenges presented by, and opportunities for, identifying and treating CKD in older adults.
