Study Summary

Frailty is a syndrome characterized by decreased reserve and diminished resistance to stressors. The proposed research will evaluate the association of frailty with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The prevalence of frailty increases with age and with CKD, but studies are needed to determine whether frailty is associated with worsening of CKD and whether intervention to treat frailty can improve physical functioning and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) as well as slow progression of CKD.

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: FrailExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Source of these participants will be the same as those who screen into the study; patients with chronic kidney disease receiving care at the San Francisco Veteran Affairs Medical Center. Based on initial screening if participants meet criteria for frailty participants will be enrolled in the intervention arm. Participants who are ambulatory regardless of co-morbidities will not be excluded from the study.
Group II: Not frailActive Control1 Intervention
Source of these participants will be the same as those who screen into the study; patients with chronic kidney disease receiving care at the San Francisco Veteran Affairs Medical Center. Based on initial screening if participants do not meet criteria for frailty, baseline screening data will be used for comparative analysis as the no intervention arm.
