The Effects of Frailty on Chronic Kidney Disease

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Sarcopenia, Chronic Kidney Disease

In brief

Frailty is a syndrome characterized by decreased reserve and diminished resistance to stressors. The proposed research will evaluate the association of frailty with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The prevalence of frailty increases with age and with CKD, but studies are needed to determine whether frailty is associated with worsening of CKD and whether intervention to treat frailty can improve physical functioning and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) as well as slow progression of CKD.
