摘要：1 Introduction
Facing the needs of an increasingly ageing population is rapidly becoming a major public health issue in western countries.[1,2] Chronic kidney disease (CKD),whose current prevalence is estimated around 10％-15％ in the general population,with considerably higher figures in at-risk groups,is widely known to increase with age.[3] In the elderly,renal impairment is often concomitant or secondary to several other systemic disorders such as hypertension,atherosclerosis,diabetes and cardiovascular (CV) diseases.As accurate clinical risk assessment is a prerequisite for devising effective preventive and therapeutic strategies,identifying and enhancing the presence of rcnal abnormalities is an important step to effectively deal with the frail patient with comorbidities.
