Changes and Effects on the urinary system in the Elderly include. •Overall amount of kidney tissue decreases. •Number of filtering units (nephrons) decreases. Nephrons filter waste material from the blood. •Blood vessels supplying the kidneys can become hardened. This causes the kidneys to filter blood more slowly.
Urinary Tract Infections in the Elderly Elderly people are more vulnerable to UTIs for many reasons, overall susceptibility to all infections due to the suppressed immune system that comes with age. UTIs can lead to acute or chronic kidney infections, permanently damage or kidney failure.
