Summary Introduction
To discuss:
Senescent changes in the urinary system; how this affects fluid needs and drug therapy in old age; and reasons for increasing urine retention in elderly men and incontinence in elderly women.
Introduction:
As a result of aging, degeneration of an organ system occurs, and it is referred to as senescence. Degeneration occurs after the age of highest functional efficiency, such as reduced ability to repair damage, increased susceptibility to disease, gradual loss of reserve capacities, and compensate for stress.
