Abstract
Old age has been considered as a positive modifier of chronic kidney disease (CKD), but the progression of CKD is often accelerated by acute kidney injury (AKI) in older adults. This study aimed to investigate this paradoxical interplay and identify age-specific predictors of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).
