Chronic Kidney Disease: Advancing Strategies to Prevent Progression
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
Chronic kidney disease (CKD), typically caused by diabetes and hypertension, affects 15% of US adults and continues to increase with the rising prevalence of these conditions. Increased health care utilization and high morbidity/mortality rates are associated with the progression of CKD to kidney failure with comorbid cardiovascular disease, anemia and bone disease. This session will examine the current state of care for CKD, including recent advancements and interventions that can slow CKD progression and preserve kidney function and strategies to optimize care pathways for managing CKD and its common comorbidities.
