Precision Medicine in Nephrology: Applications to Treatment and Prevention of Kidney Toxicity
Precision Medicine in Nephrology: Applications to Treatment and Prevention of Kidney Toxicity is organized by National Kidney Foundation (NKF).
Available From: 6/1/2023
Available Until: 6/1/2025
Course Description:
The holy grail of precision medicine is to tailor medical treatment to specific disease processes to optimize treatment outcomes. Similarly, precision medicine can be applied to the prevention and/or mitigation of kidney related drug toxicities. This activity will inform clinicians about precision medicine tools and their clinical applications in kidney injury phenotypes. The activity will also review important findings to date from the NINJA sustained quality improvement program to reduce nephrotoxic medication-associated acute kidney injury in pediatrics.
Learning Objectives:
• Review the evolving role of genetics in determining injury to potentially nephrotoxic medications
• Describe contemporary approaches to incorporation of urinary biomarker signatures toward diagnosis of kidney injury from drugs
• Apply NINJA tools through case examples to translate monitoring and intervention approaches to the clinic
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
