Chronic kidney disease promotes ageing in a multiorgan disease network

Nature Reviews Nephrology, Published online: 26 May 2023; doi:10.1038/s41581-023-00729-6Human ageing trajectories are highly individual and dependent on genetic and non-genetic factors. An analysis of the interconnectivity of distinct age-related chronic diseases shows that organ-specific chronic diseases accelerate the ageing of other organ systems, which has important implications for mortality. Notably, chronic kidney disease was identified a highly important risk factor for the ageing of other organ systems.
