Abstract

Changes in life expectancy across the globe has led to a marked demographic shift which, combined with an increasing burden of comorbidity, has led to a markedly older dialysis population. However, dialysis is only one component of the overall care of the older person with renal disease. Recognizing and assessing frailty, a process distinct from aging, is important before commencing and while on dialysis. Having assessed frailty, shared decision-making with the patient and family is no less important in the older person than any other patient. Shared decision-making should cover realistic care goals including quality of life, minimizing treatment burden and symptom control. While underutilized, there are many features of peritoneal dialysis which make it a suitable treatment for the older person. Individualization of the prescription should focus on preserving residual kidney function, use of low-intensity incremental regimes where possible, and assisted peritoneal dialysis where needed.
