Free CE Course on ADPKD
Earn 1.0 CE credit for participating in the PCEC partner program, "Thirteen Questions Answered for Managing Patients with the Most Common Hereditary Kidney Disease". The course is available until Tuesday, November 30th and must be completed by then to earn credit.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary kidney disorder. Nonetheless, its signs and symptoms are under-recognized by primary care clinicians (PCCs) in clinical practice. Advances in genetics and clinical diagnosis, expanded knowledge of the prognostic role of total kidney volume, the advent of potentially disease-modifying therapies, and the availability of evidence-based guidelines have created new opportunities for improved patient management. PCCs are in a sentinel position for early identification of patients with ADPKD, which is increasingly seen in the primary care setting.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Identify persons at high risk of ADPKD.
- Conduct a diagnostic evaluation.
- Initiate evidence-based therapy to slow kidney disease progression and treat extra-renal manifestations.
