ABSTRACT

A insuficiência renal crônica é um problema de saúde pública mundial, afetando todas as idades. Atualmente apresenta prevalência acentuada entre os pacientes idosos. Seu diagnóstico envolve a necessidade de classificação quanto ao estágio em que o paciente se encontra. A avaliação da função renal mais prática inclui as fórmulas de cálculo do ritmo de filtração glomerular (RFG), que são apresentadas no texto. As manifestações da uremia nos idosos são semelhantes àquelas observadas nos segmentos mais jovens. O tratamento conservador visa à correção das mesmas e à manutenção da função renal, com o objetivo de dispensar o tratamento dialítico ou retardar o seu início.


The chronic renal failure constitutes a world wide health problem, affecting all ages, but nowadays with an accentuation of its prevalence among old people. Its diagnosis deserves the needing of a classification of the level of the renal function of the patient. The most practical renal function evaluation includes the equations for the estimation of the glomerular filtration rate which are presented in the text. The uremic manifestations of the aged are the same observed in younger groups and their conservative treatment is in order to promote the corrections of those manifestations and the renal function preservation for preventing the dialysis treatment or its beginning.
