Progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD)

90 per cent of kidney function can be lost before people experience symptoms. As a result, late referral is common and 17 per cent of people commence dialysis within 90 days of being referred to a kidney service.

Join WA Primary Health Alliance, Kidney Health Australia and nephrologist Dr Andrew Sunderland for this practical webinar about progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD).

This webinar will unpack Chapter 5 of the CKD Management in Primary Care handbook (5th edition) and focus on the following topics:

• How multiple morbidities can distract from noticing the clinical signs of CKD in a real-life deidentified case.
• How to manage CKD to slow progression in a complex presentation.
• When to refer a patient with CKD to a nephrologist.
• Available kidney failure treatment options.

This webinar is accredited for 1 RACGP and ACRRM EA CPD hour.
