Brief Summary

The incidence and prevalence of kidney failure increases with age. Elderly people with chronic kidney disease may have factors of fragility (loss of independence, comorbidities, geriatric syndromes) that can complicate the choice and implementation of the nephrological therapeutic project. Joint and early assessment of these patients by a nephrologist and a geriatrician could help to optimize the definition of care objectives and patient pathway. There is little data on how nephrologists and geriatricians cooperate and on the description of frailties in elderly patients with renal impairment. In this context, the objective of this study is to describe in a French university hospital the reasons for the use of geriatricians by nephrologists, the modalities of geriatric evaluation and the socio-demographic and medical characteristics (including geriatric syndromes) of very elderly patients with renal insufficiency, and then to become so at one year. Year of implementation of this research: 2019 based on data from 2017 and 2019. Approximate number of people likely to be included in the research: 100 patients
