CKD - Better Management through Increased Awareness

Publication Date: 6/22/2015

Speaker: John G. Kokales, MD FACP
Length:  1 hour

This presentation will provide a better understanding of chronic kidney disease (CKD), its stages, risk of progression and what can be done to delay or prevent progression to ESRD. Most importantly the role of case managers in providing patients the education they need to better understand their CKD, manage it, and understand the choices available to them if the disease is progressing to ESRD is clearly defined and emphasized. Renal replacement choices affect patients quality of life and require education as to the options of transplant, Hemodialysis, Peritoneal Dialysis and medical management without dialysis. This session will help case managers to:
  1. Define CKD and identify its stages;
  2. Determine the risk factors that are associated with a more rapid progression to ESRD and Dialysis; and
  3. Identify patients who can benefit from an early referral to a nephrologist.
