Chronic kidney disease affects 30-40 million Americans, of
whom several
thousand require renal replacement therapy. These selected lectures
are chosen
by the HDCN editor and ASN Postgraduate Medical Director to reflect
those areas
of practice of greatest interest to the clinician, and areas where
recent progress
has occurred. The web extension of these ASN lectures will
allow nephrologists
and other physicians who were unable to attend the live sessions to
gain similar
benefit from these presentations. Similarly, those talks chosen for
Nursing CEs
will allow nephrology nurses, pharmacists, and technicians to also
get the educational
benefit of this material.
