The kidney and beyond

The kidney and beyond webinar will take place on Sat 5 Sep 2020 from 1:30pm to 6 Sep 2020 at 10:00am

This unique collaboration between the UK Renal Association SpR Club and The Royal Society of Medicine Nephrology Section, will explore issues of multi-system dysfunction and multi-morbidity in kidney diseases.

For the first time, the SpR Club will be hosting one of its biannual weekend meetings online with an exciting international line-up of expert speakers. This format has allowed us to open our doors to nephrology trainees and fellows across the globe to join in the learning in a relaxed and comfortable environment. 

The traditional SpR Club Saturday evening quiz will continue online with the opportunity for networking, and to get to know colleagues from elsewhere.  

This 2 day webinar will cover:

• Understanding how genes work
• The evidence (and non-evidence) in the management of COVID-19
• RAS blockade and AKI: before and after
• How to formulate a reasoned argument for or against screening for coronary artery disease in candidates for kidney transplantation
• The challenges involved in kidney transplantation in people with HIV and sickle cell disease and how these challenges may be overcome
• Issues relating to the management of obesity in kidney disease and identifying potential solutions
• The role of stratified medicine in the management of diabetes and how this can improve outcomes

Applied for free CPD.
