Course overview

This course provides 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit for license renewal and offers a review of Chronic Kidney disease medications and treatments. Chronic kidney disease is an important public health issue, and there is a significant unmet need for therapies that slow disease progression and improve outcomes. Early diagnosis and treatment of the underlying cause and/or the institution of secondary preventive measures are imperative in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This activity focuses on the efficacy and safety of FDA-approved drugs that may delay, or possibly halt, the progression of the disease.
