Basics of Kidney Disease and Transplantation

Basics of Kidney Disease and Transplantation is one of the nine-part webinar series that targeted to Independent Living Donor Advocates (ILDAs) and transplant managers, but many transplant professionals will find this information valuable given the documented differences in practice, confusion about regulatory requirements, and dearth of available training materials.

Learner Objectives for this conference:

- Describe kidney structure and function
- Describe primary causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD)
- Explain treatment options for ESRD, including: hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, deceased donor transplant and living donor transplant (LDT)
- Identify benefits of LDT for people with late stage chronic kidney disease
