Abstract
In an era marked by a global demographic shift towards an aging society, there is a heightened prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among older adults. The burden of CKD spans from kidney-related complications to impacting psychological well-being, giving rise to depressive symptoms and caregiver burnout. This article delves into CKD prevention strategies within the context of aging, contributing to the discourse by exploring its multifaceted aspects. The prevention of CKD in the older adults necessitates a comprehensive approach. Primary prevention is centered on the modification of risk factors, acknowledging the intricate interplay of various comorbidities. Secondary prevention focuses on early CKD identification. Tertiary prevention aims to address factors contributing to CKD progression and complications, emphasizing the importance of timely interventions. This comprehensive strategy aims to enhance the quality of life for individuals affected by CKD, decelerating the deterioration of functional status. By addressing CKD at multiple levels, this approach seeks to effectively and compassionately care for the aging population.
