    Abstract

    Rates of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease are increasing as the United States population ages. The elderly with chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease face specific challenges with regard to medical care. Being of elderly age should not be a contraindication for initiation of renal replacement therapy. As the United States population ages, physicians will have to face many challenges associated with aging, whether medical, psychosocial, or ethical. This article discusses issues specific to the geriatric dialysis population.
