Overview
Renal and Transplant Medicine: a bright future but with many challenges
The identification of Chronic Kidney Disease, a growing world-wide clinical problem, is critical with an increasing
impact in primary care. Progression of kidney disease is associated with many complications leading to increased
morbidity and mortality in patients. Most patients with kidney disease die of cardiovascular causes. The
management of CKD and its complications is rapidly evolving. The symposium will examine diagnostic challenges in
renal medicine and the emerging therapies that may reduce mortality and morbidity; and finally renal
transplantation which provides for improved quantity and quality of life.
Upon completion the participant will be able to :recognise patients with Chronic Kidney Disease; understand the
importance of proteinuria and how to manage cardiovascular risk; discuss the management of anaemia; and
recognise the challenges in managing a transplant patient.
The programme will be of particular interest to trainees, both renal and general, primary care physicians and
practising nephrologists as well as general physicians, in obtaining an overview of issues in renal and transplant
medicine to tackle patients who may present with various pathologies.
