1 -- Older adults are susceptible to renal insufficiency, which puts them at risk for accumulation of metabolic by-products and medications dependent on renal clearance. Medication dosages will need to be adjusted for the elderly patient with a low glomerular filtration rate. The glomerular filtration rate will not impact the patient’s postoperative activity level, amount of intraoperative blooding, or oxygenation status.
