A course by Dr. Padmini Sirkanungo
Immerse yourself in an interactive learning program that enhances your understanding of evidence-based approaches to prevent and manage Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
Overview of Chronic Kidney Disease and an Approach to Nephrology Course
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a prevalent condition worldwide, impairing kidney function and causing complications. Electrolyte imbalances can be life-threatening, impacting the cardiovascular system. Close monitoring and tailored management are crucial to prevent severe issues like GI, skin, and cardiovascular problems. GPs and physicians diagnose and manage CKD, referring patients as needed. The Approach to Nephrology course equips healthcare professionals with essential knowledge and skills to effectively diagnose, manage, and treat CKD.

Syllabus
What will you learn from Chronic Kidney Disease and an Approach to Nephrology course?
Chronic Kidney Disease and an Approach to Nephrology
CKD is a progressive condition with significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in those with diabetes and hypertension. Effective management necessitates personalized non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions. Early detection and treatment by primary care providers are vital for preventing progression and reducing cardiovascular risks. This module assists primary care providers in detecting, intervening, and managing CKD in at-risk or diagnosed patients.
Systemic Manifestations of Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Kidney's role in homeostasis is crucial. As function declines, complications arise in various organ systems, such as uremia, anemia, pericarditis, encephalopathy, neuropathy, GI issues, and skin problems. This course targets prevalent systemic complications of CKD, providing management recommendations.
Management of chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Management of CKD in OBGYN Course - Strategies to control symptoms, halt progression, and enhance quality of life. Topics: lifestyle modifications, medication use, dialysis, kidney transplants, and other therapies. Focus on slowing disease progression for improved outcomes and longer survival rates.
Disorders of Potassium
This course addresses potassium disorders in CKD. Electrolyte imbalances and acid-base disturbances are key concerns. CKD patients face higher risk. Learn about potassium retention, elevated levels, and related complications. Set potassium intake targets according to renal function. Timely interventions stressed to prevent fatal arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.
Disorders of Sodium
This course tackles sodium disorders in CKD patients. Extracellular fluid volume expansion worsens heart failure and organ damage. Managing sodium imbalance is challenging due to low glomerular filtration, tubule retention, and proteinuria. Learn principles and approaches to treat hypertension, prevent cardiovascular and renal damage in this module.
Disorders of Calcium, Phosphate & Magnesium
This module examines imbalances in CKD, causing respiratory problems, seizures, and arrhythmias. Disrupted calcium-phosphate metabolism leads to bone disease, calcification, atherosclerosis, and arterial stiffness. Gain insights into pathogenesis and management for better CKD care.
