Advances in Peritoneal Dialysis: Annual Symposium
In-Person Event
Sep 21, 2018
New York City, New York, USA
OVERVIEW
Advances In Peritoneal Dialysis: Annual Symposium is organized by Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) and will be held on Sep 21, 2018 at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York City, New York, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is nephrologists, internist, PCPs, nephrology nurses and other allied health care clinicians exposed to patients with kidney disorders. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 6.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Conference Description:
This is a one-day live conference on home dialysis sponsored by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Practitioners, researchers, clinician-scientists and registered nurses who are experts in the field of kidney disease will discuss current developments in the field of Peritoneal Dialysis and related dialysis modalities. The topics will range from nutritional management of patients with kidney disease to organizing a successful PD program. Patients will also be participating in this conference and will give their perspective on whether or not peritoneal dialysis is the right choice for them.
The conference is designed for health professionals involved in established PD programs, as well as those working in new and developing programs. Both researchers and clinicians will find sessions of interest to them.
Conference Objectives:
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
• Recognize the impact of nutritional management, in particular with respect to phosphorus and exemplify the survival advantage when under control.
• Explain to patients the relevance of adherence to treatments and nutritional needs for their well-being.
• Summarize the importance of vascular access choices and their impact on patient’s clinical outcomes.
• Integrate strategies in identifying the most adequate vascular access for individual patients.
• Differentiate the dynamics between intradialytic weight gain and fluid removal in relation to chronic volume overload.
• Describe the most current innovations in the field of bio-engineered kidney research.
