ForwardManaging Members With Chronic Kidney Disease
Activity description
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a health condition where the kidneys lose normal function over time; this causes poor filtering of the blood. The main causes of CKD are uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes. When CKD is diagnosed, lab tests are used to determine its stage. As a case manager, it is not uncommon to manage individuals who have multiple comorbidities, including CKD. This activity will provide an overview of CKD; how to complete a phone assessment for complications; and how to discuss medications, interventions and support measures.
