CourseDetails
• Introduction to Precision Kidney Function Assessment: Understanding the importance of accurate kidney function assessment, including the role of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and other biomarkers. • Clinical Context and Patient History: The significance of patient history, physical examination, and clinical context in interpreting kidney function test results. • Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR): Best practices for estimating eGFR, including the use of serum creatinine, cystatin C, and other biomarkers. • Equations and Calculation Methods: Overview of common eGFR equations, including the CKD-EPI, MDRD, and Cockcroft-Gault equations. • Assessing Albuminuria and Proteinuria: Techniques for measuring albuminuria and proteinuria, including urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) and protein-to-creatinine ratio (PCR). • Integrating eGFR and Albuminuria Data: Strategies for interpreting and integrating eGFR and albuminuria data to assess kidney function and disease progression. • Special Populations and Considerations: Examining the impact of age, sex, race, and muscle mass on kidney function assessment and eGFR calculations. • Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Diagnosis and Staging: Applying eGFR and albuminuria data to diagnose and stage CKD according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines. • Monitoring Kidney Function: Best practices for monitoring kidney function over time, including the role of repeat eGFR and albuminuria measurements.
