Abstract:
:This prospective study was undertaken to study the spectrum of renal failure and the outcome in elderly patients. Patients included in the study group were elderly (age>60 years) who either attended outpatient renal clinic and or were hospitalized. Renal failure was classified as acute renal failure (ARF), rapidly progressive renal failure (RPRF) and chronic renal failure (CRF). A total of 4255 elderly patients were seen, of these 236 (5.5%) had renal failure. Mean age was 65.1+/-4.2 years (60-86 years). CRF was the commonest, seen in 137 (58.1%) followed by ARF 69 (29.2%) and RPRF in 30 (12.7%) patients. Diabetic nephropathy was the commonest cause of CRF, seen in 58.4% followed by chronic interstitial nephritis in 9.5% and chronic glomerulonephritis in 8.7% of patients. Of 137 patients 53 (38.7%) presented in end stage renal disease (ESRD). Of these 41 (77.3%) were initiated on maintenance hemodialysis and 12 (22.6%) on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Only 15 patients were on dialytic support at the end of 1 year. Sepsis contributed to ARF in 75.4% of cases. Forty of 69 patients (57.9%) needed dialytic support. Forty (57.9%) were critically ill, defined as presence of two or more organ system failures (excluding renal failure). Forty two patients (60.9%) died patients. Acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) was the commonest cause of RPRF seen in 10 (33.3%) patients followed by vasculitis in 7 (23.3%). Myeloma cast nephropathy contributed towards RPRF in 20% of patients. Of 30 patients, 10 (33.3%) reached ESRD at end of 3 months of follow up, 4 (13.3%) died due to sepsis. Only 2 showed complete recovery while 14 (46.6%) had partial improvement. AIN patients had a relatively better outcome.
