Overview
The development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its progression to end-stage renal disease remains a significant source of reduced quality of life and premature mortality. In end-stage renal disease (ESRD), an individual’s kidneys permanently stop functioning, resulting in the necessity of long-term dialysis or a kidney transplant to survive. This course includes a complete overview of ESRD, its potential causes, and current treatments options for overall improved quality of life.
Objectives
Upon completion of the independent study, the learner will be able to:
- Identify causes of renal failure
- Review testing and assessments for renal failure
- Identify distinctions between acute renal failure and chronic kidney disease
- Recognize treatment modalities for hyperkalemia
- Summarize dialysis options, including peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis
