ABSTRACT
With the population ageing, the number of elderly patients with end-stage renal disease(ESRD)is increasing, and the proportion of elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis is also increasing year by year.The elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis are susceptible to frailty due to the comorbidities, polypharmacy, chronic inflammation, malnutrition and other factors.In addition, frailty can lead to a variety of adverse prognosis such as falls, fractures, cognitive decline, all-cause hospital readmissions and all-cause death in elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis.
