چکیده
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is widely prevalent in the elderly population. The recent "Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) 2012 Clinical Practice Guideline on the Evaluation and Management of CKD" builds on the previous Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) guideline and addresses many of its gaps.
