Program overview:
This activity
will address the issues at the center of the debate of appropriate
treatment for hyperphosphatemia and present important clinical results
of recent trials that provide further insight for the management of
patients with CKD.
Upon completion
of this activity, participants should:
- Recognize the prevalence
and mortality associated with stage 4 CKD
- Recognize the important
role of phosphate binders in the continuum of care of patients with
CKD
- Recognize the findings
from recent clinical studies to optimally control serum phosphorus
in these patients
- Recognize the multifactorial
pathogenesis of cardiovascular calcification (CVC) in patients with
CKD
- Identify those at greater
risk for developing CVC to implement appropriate interventions
Method of Participation:
This activity
is an on-demand presentation available in two formats. Participants
can choose between a CD-Rom and a virtual Web cast, which can be accessed
online at www.kidney.org/CME.
Participants must view the self-directed audio/visual slide presentation

Overview:
Webcast participants will hear about published guidelines for the
management of patients with CKD, and acquire knowledge for implementing
these guidelines in clinical practice. Afterwards, participants will
have the means to change practice behavior regarding the early detection
and aggressive primary and secondary prevention of disease progression
in these patients.
Target Audience: Physicians,
Physician Assistants, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Dietitians, Dialysis
Technicians, Pharmacists
Upon completion of this activity,
participants should be able to:
- Review treatment guidelines
(JNC-7, KDOQI) as they relate to treatment of CKD with hypertension
and proteinuria
- Review the relations between
urine protein excretion, cardiovascular risk and CKD
- Review the therapeutic
approaches to hypertension and proteinuria in CKD
- Develop a conceptual framework
for stopping the progression of CKD and treatment goals for hypertension
and proteinuria
Method of Participation:
This Webcast can be accessed online at www.kidney.org/cme.
Participants are able to view a self-directed slide presentation with
accompanying audio. At the conclusion of this activity, participants
will complete an evaluation and post-test to receive a certificate
