Progressive Chronic Kidney Disease

Posted Wednesday 16 October 2024 | Kidney Health Australia

Late referral is common because 90 per cent of kidney function can be lost before people experience symptoms. Sadly, 17 per cent of people commence dialysis within 90 days of being referred to a kidney service.

Join Kidney Health Australia with A/Professor Ivor Katz (Nephrologist, St George Hospital, Sydney) and Dr Gary Chang (General Practitioner, Brisbane), as they demonstrate how multiple morbidities can distract from noticing the clinical signs of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in this real-life deidentified case.

How to manage CKD to slow progression in a complex presentation will be explored along with, when to refer to a nephrologist, and kidney failure treatment options. This webinar unpacks Chapter 5 of the Chronic Kidney Disease Management in Primary Care 5th handbook, Progressive CKD, and more. See you then!
