随着人类平均寿命的延长,老年慢性肾衰患者不断增加,需要依赖维持性血液透析的老年患者人数也随之增加。近年来,虽然透析技术不断改进并日趋成熟,但年龄老化仍是透析患者死亡的重要危险因素。如何提高老年透析患者的生存率,改善其生活质量,减少并发症及住院率,仍是肾科医生所面临的挑战。 As the average human life expectancy increases, the number of elderly people with chronic renal failure continues to increase, and the number of elderly patients who need to rely on maintenance hemodialysis also increases. In recent years, although dialysis technology has been improved and matured, aging is still an important risk factor for the death of dialysis patients. How to improve the survival rate of elderly patients with dialysis, improve their quality of life, reduce complications and hospital admissions, nephrologists are still faced with the challenge.
