PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing in the US population, particulary in patients with diabetes and hypertension. The National Kidney Foundation Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (K/DOQI) guidelines define and classify the stages of CKD and stratify the risk for loss of kidney function and the development of comorbid conditions such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and anemia. Screening programs, such as the Kidney Early Evaluation Program (KEEP), as well as prospective, population-based studies, have begun to further quantify the prevalence of CKD and its comorbidities. The positive outcomes of proactive management of CKD and anemia, as well as cardiovascular disease, will be examined in this session. The clinical complications of CKD will be discussed, along with approaches to optimally manage those complications. Collaborative approaches to patient care will be reviewed, and interdisciplinary care at one institution will be examined through a case study and a panel discussion involving members of the care team.
