Program Description
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common, underrecognized complication of diabetes that substantially increases cardiovascular risk and worsens long-term outcomes in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Join us for an interactive race-style CME symposium aimed at guiding clinicians through key decision points in early CKD detection, risk stratification, and comprehensive management. Learners will work through evolving patient cases, interpret test results, apply current guideline recommendations, and select evidence-based cardiorenal-protective therapies, with an emphasis on multidisciplinary collaboration to slow CKD progression and reduce cardiovascular (CV) events.
Register now to stay ahead in diabetes-related CKD care.
