Stage 1 - Meet the Expert Presentations

Abstract:Globally, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an under recognised and under treated condition, placing a significant burden on health systems world-wide. The prevalence of CKD is expected to increase, this is, in part, due to a rise in risk factors and associated co-morbidities that lead to complex management issues2. Primary Care Physicians are uniquely placed to impact patient outcomes through early diagnosis and implementation of guideline directed medical therapy.
Overview: This session will explore current disease burden, practical approaches to early detection in primary care and how implementation of recent international guidelines can have the potential to transform the patient journey.
