If you enjoy a blend of online learning and podcast-style listening that you can fit into your busy life, then this podcourse is for you.
Listen to this 3-part audio series, then go to MIMSLearning.co.uk to read the downloadable worksheets and complete the multiple-choice quizzes, to get up to speed with all the key points primary care professionals need to know about chronic kidney disease (CKD).
In this episode (part 3), consultant nephrologist Dr Andrew Frankel discusses advanced management of CKD, using the case of a patient whose disease has progressed. He explains when the focus should shift from preventing disease progression to planning for end-stage kidney failure treatment, and outlines the options, including dialysis, transplant, and supportive care.
Dr Frankel emphasises that ‘the management of heart failure needs to be prioritised over the management of a decline in GFR’, and explains what this looks like in practice. He also offers tips on dealing with complications such as hyperkalaemia and anaemia.
MIMS Learning offers hundreds of hours of CPD for healthcare professionals, along with a handy CPD organiser.
