Abstract
Frailty is a multisystem syndrome of decreased physiologic reserve that has been shown to strongly and independently predict morbidity and mortality. Frailty is prevalent in patients living with kidney disease and occurs earlier in individuals with kidney disease as compared to the general population. In this comprehensive review, we examine clinical and research applications of frailty in kidney disease populations. Specifically, we clarify the definition of frailty and address common misconceptions, review the mechanisms and epidemiology of frailty in kidney disease, discuss challenges and limitations in frailty measurement, and provide updated evidence related to risk factors for frailty, its associated adverse outcomes, and interventions. We further add to the literature in this topic by highlighting the potential applications of frailty measurement in the care of patients with kidney disease and conclude with our recommendations for future research related to this important syndrome.
期刊介绍：
The American Journal of Kidney Diseases (AJKD), the National Kidney Foundation's official journal, is globally recognized for its leadership in clinical nephrology content. Monthly, AJKD publishes original investigations on kidney diseases, hypertension, dialysis therapies, and kidney transplantation. Rigorous peer-review, statistical scrutiny, and a structured format characterize the publication process. Each issue includes case reports unveiling new diseases and potential therapeutic strategies.
