  • Aging and the Kidney

    Possible Mechanisms, Consequences, and Management Strategies
    • 1st Edition

    • English
    Aging and the Kidney: Possible Mechanisms, Consequences, and Management Strategies explores the connection between kidney health and overall well-being with increasing age and longevity. The kidney contains both regenerative and terminally differentiated cells, serving as a crossroad for vascular and inflammatory processes, and regulates many conditions associated with chronic, progressive, and debilitating disease. Efforts to slow the decline in kidney function can enhance quality of life in the aging population. This book is organized into three main parts: mechanisms of the aging kidney, clinical consequences, and management and prevention. The first part examines histological, structural, physiological, and functional changes that contribute to age-related declines in kidney function. The role of nutrition and proteomics is also discussed. The second part examines the functional decline in elderly patients and includes subparts on impaired quality of life, sleep quality, fall risk, frailty, depression, and sarcopenia. It also considers unique features of hypertension, diabetes, glomerulonephritis, and peripheral vascular disease. The final part focuses on diagnostic, management, and prevention strategies. The common myths about chronic kidney disease in the elderly are addressed, with particular attention to how a solitary kidney in living donors ages over time. Kidney function and its relationship to neurologic complications, cancers, and cardiovascular disease are explained, along with current treatment approaches, medications, and future directions in the care of elderly patients. This comprehensive work serves as a valuable resource for understanding how aging affects systemic health and offers potential pathways to enhance lifespan and well-being in elderly patients.

    • English
    Water Security for Ecosystems: Metrics and Pathways for a Sustainable Future explores the mechanisms to support sustainable management of aquatic resources in the context of rising global water demand, global change, and population growth. By identifying resource consumption indicators such as fishing load capacity and virtual water trade, this book sets a clear framework for assessing the ecological footprint of extractive industries. It then proposes pathways to establish largescale water security via integrated aquatic resource management, water-efficient technologies, and sustainable policy intervention.Written by a renowned team of water resource managers, early chapters in this book define ecological footprints and explore the global policies, industries, and climate forces driving water insecurity. Central chapters explore novel and innovative water conservation techniques, advances in water resource management, and emerging technologies for sustainable water use. Final chapters explore global water policies and the role of international cooperation and propose a roadmap for minimizing aquatic ecological footprints.Water Security for Ecosystems acknowledges the increased strain placed on global aquatic ecosystems due to unsustainable water use, extractive fisheries and agricultural practices, pollution, and inefficient governance. Addressing these challenges will necessitate a multidisciplinary approach centered on sustainable water management, strengthened transboundary water governance, responsible consumption policies, and global investment to reduce our aquatic ecological footprint. By integrating science, policy, and community engagement in multidisciplinary management recommendations, this book positions itself as an essential resource for water resource managers, researchers, and policymakers alike.
