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.
