Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aging in the urinary system is characterized by shrinking of the kidneys, decreased blood flow to the kidneys, and a lower filtration rate. These changes reflect the overall decline in kidney function with age. There is no increase in the number of glomeruli; in fact, the number may decrease, and urinary output typically does not increase but may decrease or become more difficult to control.
