UPDATES, ADVANCES AND PRACTICAL INFORMATION YOU CAN USE NOW TO SCREEN, DIAGNOSE AND MANAGE PATIENTS WITH KIDNEY DISEASE

With more than 50 interactive lectures and case-based sessions, this program provides a comprehensive update of the most important changes now impacting Nephrology with guidance on how to incorporate these changes into your clinical practice to optimize patient care and improve outcomes.

Many practicing nephrologists and physicians find it difficult to keep up with the rapid scientific and technological advances in renal care because medicine is changing at a faster pace than ever before. This live-streaming and fast-paced educational offering is taught by world-renowned experts and Harvard Medical School’s leading clinical faculty. The most important updates and advances in the diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases will be taught, including practical information that you can use now to provide exceptional patient care.

We will address pathophysiologic and clinical issues in the major areas of nephrology, including:

Glomerular disease
Acute renal failure
Renal transplantation
Xenotransplantion
Immunosuppressive management
Hypertension
Pregnancy and renal disease
COVID-19
Acid-base and fluid and electrolyte disorders
Potassium balance
Renal imaging
Bone mineral disorders
Lupus nephritis
Diuretic resistance
Dialysis
Renal stones
Polycystic kidney disease
Genetic renal diseases
Cardiorenal and hepatorenal syndrome

Presenters will also discuss diagnostic testing, well-recognized medical complications, evidence-based treatment plans and provide specific management strategies and recommendations to optimize care.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS PROGRAM INCLUDE

Latest guidelines and management options for hypertension
Expert discussions on the management of IgA Nephropathy, Membranous Nephropathy, Minimal Change Disease and FSGS
Up-to-date guidance on genetic testing and its role in the CKD clinic
Comprehensive overview of kidney transplantation including infections, malignancies, and well-recognized general complications
Important updates on immunosuppressive therapies for kidney transplant recipients, including novel therapies
Best practices for managing dialysis access and peritoneal dialysis, including complications
State-of-the-art sessions on the physiology of electrolyte and acid base disorders

This is an excellent opportunity to learn the latest “best practices” and enhance your clinical skills. Both new and returning attendees will benefit from the comprehensive curriculum.
