OVERVIEW

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) Course is organized by American College of Physicians (ACP) and will be held during Apr 18, 2018 - Nov 07, 2020. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 2.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits and MOC Points.

Course Description:
The goals are to apply specific treatments according to the underlying cause and provide supportive care to prevent and treat complications. KRT is used when complications of kidney failure cannot be managed with medical therapy alone. The need for nephrologist consultation or comanagement depends on the stage, cause, and severity of complications.

This review focuses on general features of AKI in adults in developed countries, not including pregnant women or kidney transplant recipients. AKI is a more serious problem in developing countries due to risk factors related to underdevelopment and lack of availability of KRT.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
