The scientific community and health systems will have to address the increasing incidence of reduced kidney function because of progressive global aging. The aim of this review is to describe the morphological and functional alterations that characterize the aging kidney and to suggest not only pharmaceutical pathways but also lifestyle changes that could be beneficially targeted.
