In elderly patients, modifications observed in renal function often make difficult the differentiation between the pathological cause and the physiological consequences of aging. The presence of arterial hypertension can enhance these hemodynamic modifications. The state of renal function is often assessed only on creatinemia, which is not a marker adapted to the elderly, since creatinine levels often remain normal even in cases of altered renal function. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of chronic renal failure (CRF) in elderly hypertensive patients, based on the calculation of creatinine clearance using Cockcroft and Gault's method, and comparing it with the prevalence of CRF when renal function is assessed by methods currently used by practitioners.
