Ageing in Chronic Kidney Disease

Abstract

DAY 4 of the 59th ERA Congress 2022 included an expert session on cellular ageing. In a symposium session featuring specialist insight from researchers in the field, discussions focused on the cellular processes that contribute to aging, environmental influences that correlate with ageing phenotype, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) as a model for dysregulated ageing. Exploring treatments and lifestyle changes that slow ageing and increase health span, experts also shared research underlining the importance of the microbiome and the role dysbiosis plays in triggering age-related pathways.
