Chronic kidney disease are caused and induced by many other diseases such as the so called senile diseases like hypertension,coronary heart disease,diabetes,osteoarthropathy in the elderly, senile skin pruritus,hyperlipidaemia and so on.

What should the elderly do when they have chronic kidney diseases?
According to the research,the death rate of the elderly who have chronic kidney diseases is 17.6%,one of the main reasons for which is that they do not know they have been caught by the kidney diseases, and another is that they are reluctant to be on dialysis. For the first kind,the main reason why they do not know they have got kidney disease is that the kidney problems are caused by those so called senile diseases,and they are taking the medicines to treat their senile diseases,as a result of which,the optimal treatment time is missed and they do not know anything until they have been diagnosed with renal failure.Another situation which lead to high death rate in the elderly is that they do not want to be on dialysis.According to the surveys,for the patients aging from 80 to 84 ,the survival time is about 16 months after dialysis,the time for the 85 to 89 is 12 months( those statistic values show the maximum and the minimum. Though the majority of them begin to die in 6 months,there are many who survive for years.)
