Chronic Kidney Disease: Fatigue vs. Function
Tracking # 20-784746
Course overview
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition that can cause significant muscle weakness, osteoporosis, and malnutrition. Secondary sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass) due to CKD may be associated with limited mobility, increased fall risk, and loss of functional independence. CKD affects 15% of the adult population in the United States, therefore clinicians are likely to see patients with CKD within their practice setting. An understanding of the condition and impact on function is critical.
