Background: Children and elderly are among the most vulnerable groups in the development of chronic kidney
disease. The incidence of this disease in this group of people is affected by several factors. This study was conducted
to evaluate and compare the underlying causes of chronic renal failure in these age groups.
Methods: In this structured review, all studies conducted within the country during the years 2005-2017 using the
keywords Chronic Kidney Failure, Kidney Failure in the Elderly, Kidney Failure in Children from the country's
information banks, including Magiran -medlib-SID-iran medex, and Data were analyzed using meta-analysis method.
Results: After searching for databases and extracting a large number of articles based on the title and abstract,
Eighteen studies have examined the causes of chronic renal failure in children and the elderly. The most important
causes of congenital malformations were glomerular diseases and hereditary nephropathy, respectively. Also,
diabetes and hypertension, kidney stones, and drug use were identified as the most important causes of chronic renal
failure in older people.
Conclusions: Early diagnosis of the underlying causes can prevent it and delay the progression of the disease.
Considering the prevention of the most important causes of chronic renal failure, such as genetic diseases in children
and diabetes and hypertension in the elderly, more interventions around Genetic counseling before marriage and
pregnancy and training in areas such as diabetes and hypertension are suggested by the researcher.
