Description
This session describes the causes and metabolic complications of chronic kidney disease.
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- List the causes of chronic kidney disease in relation to the anatomical 'site of injury'
- Recognise the ECG features of hyperkalaemia and initiate emergency treatment
- Recognise key functions of the kidney, the pathophysiological consequences of kidney dysfunction and the basics of managing these complications
Chronic kidney disease is common. However ‘kidney failure’ is not a diagnosis in its own right.
