Summary

Chronic kidney disease is a common diagnosis in the elderly population and it is associated with significant morbidity and health care costs. The prevalence rates increase with age to about 40% for adults aged \> 65 years. In the elderly population (age 65 and over), CKD is associated with a higher burden of comorbid conditions and frailty. The prevalence of frailty is higher in CKD patients with rated being double in early stages and nearly 6 times higher beyond stage 3b. Previously reported frailty mortality rates of 18% at 3 years and 47% at 7 years comparing with mortality rates in non frail individuals of 3% and 12% respectively. In this study, the investigators investigate the effect of multidisciplinary interventions upon frail elderly patients with CKD not yet on dialysis. This interventions include best medical care, nutrition, physiotherapy, and social, psychological and spiritual support.
