The demographics of the renal population have evolved, such that the elderly are the fastest growing group. Consequently, the multidisciplinary renal team often encounters clinical issues associated with advancing age. In this chapter, frailty, falls, and cognitive impairment are discussed as underrecognized geriatric syndromes in patients with chronic kidney disease. A case history illustrates how these syndromes tend to co-exist and affect quality of life and survival. The risk factors, management strategies, and future research priorities are discussed, recognizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to the management of elderly patients with kidney disease.
