Session description:
This session will focus on three topics that currently represent important challenges in the management of patients across the spectrum of kidney disease and kidney failure. We will use current DOPPS data to illustrate international practice patterns and variations to discuss unmet needs and suggestions for improvement.
Learning objectives:
During the session, participants will be able to: 1. Get an update of the current status of the DOPPS program and priority areas of research. 2. Learn about practice variations in the preparation of the transition from CKD to kidney failure. 3. Understand the impact of volume overload and challenges in its management in hemodialysis. 4. Learn about how peritonitis presents in different geographies and how variations in practice influence outcomes.
