Nutrition in Renal Disease, Part II: Chronic Kidney Disease

This 2-part webinar program will provide the learner with the tools to identify the differences between nutrition support in acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. The first program will focus on AKI as a disease state and provide the opportunity to apply knowledge-based learning in the areas of nutrition assessment, identification of nutrition requirements, and pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapeutic management through interactive case studies. The second program will focus on CKD as a disease state and will challenge the learner to apply knowledge-based learning in the areas of nutrition assessment and support as it evolves through the different types of renal replacement therapies, utilizing case-based scenarios. Both sessions will focus on literature-based support for these recommendations.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the metabolic abnormalities associated with chronic kidney disease
• Develop strategies to provide nutrition support to patients on various types of renal replacement therapies
• Compare and contrast the differences in recommendations brought forth by KDOQI and KDIGO in the management of nutrition in patients with CKD
