Aging is accompanied by a reduction in renal blood flow [5], reduced GFR [6], impairment of sodium conservation [7], impairment of urinary concentration [8], and reduced excretion of an acid load [9). In a rare longitudinal study, Lindeman et ai.

LINDEMAN Introduction This presentation provides an overview of the changes in renal function and morphology during adult life, and a discussion of adaptive mechanisms responsible for the regulation of volume and composition of the extracellular fluid as they are affected by age.

Especially note the six subjects in the bottom panel, representative of nearly one-third of the subjects followed, who had no decrease in creatinine clearances over periods up to 21 years.
