1 -- Typical age-related changes of the renal system include a decreased size of the renal cortex, atherosclerosis of the renal arteries, and hypoosmolality. Some of these manifestations may be associated with acute or chronic renal failure or a genetic renal disorder. This triad in an 80-year-old patient is an expected finding.
