| Description | Prevalence of pathological, usually ischemic changes to the renal parenchyma rises with increasing age. Glomerular damage develops in elderly patients most often secondarily, as a result of diabetes mellitus or hypertension, primary glomerulopathies of autoimmune origin are not exceptional either.
