Kidneys age, right? when they do, how do they handle medication?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Our whole bodies age. The kidneys may have age related small decrease in function but are not damaged.This small decrese in function generally does not interfere in the ability of the kidney to remove breakdown products of medications. Medication doses need to be adjusted by your doctor for further loss of kidney function and is also generally seen in the drug insert.
