If left untreated, chronic kidney disease (CKD) can progress to end-stage renal disease, requiring dialysis or kidney transplant as the only treatment options. So communicating this to patients, along with chronic conditions that could contribute to this are key. To learn more about raising awareness of the causes of CKD and to help slow the progression, join Dr. Mary Katherine Cheeley who’s speaking with Dr. Iroegbu, Co-Author of the article published in the Journal of Advanced Nursing, titled “An Integrative Review: Chronic Kidney Disease Awareness and the Social Determinants of Health Equity,” and T32 Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing.

Recently, Omalizumab was studied in patients due to the avoidance of management and guidance when it comes to treating food allergies in children and adults. According to this doctor, approximately 45 percent of patients seen in his clinic have multi-food allergies that are not being met with current treatment options. So to explain his research, Dr. Jennifer Caudle is joined by Dr. Sayantani Sinder, Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine and Pediatric Allergy and Clinical Immunology Physician at Stanford Healthcare and Stanford Medicine Children’s Health.

A recent study was done to show the side effects of diphenhydramine for allergic reactions, and one of the main detriments was that it could impair the patient by making them tired or sleepy. Another finding was that it doesn’t work that quickly, so in turn, giving diphenhydramine in a severe allergic reaction could cause more harm than good. To learn more on what you should know before using diphenhydramine in allergic reaction situations and possible better solutions, tune in with Dr. Douglas Jones, Board-Certified Allergist and Immunologist with the Tanner Clinic in Layton, Utah.

Guest: Gates B. Colbert, MD, FASN
A class of medications called SGLT2 inhibitors have been proven to make a major difference for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with and without diabetes when added to angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) classes of medications. Several medications that have been well studied and approved by the FDA in the United States have shown progression of not only CKD but also cardiovascular events and overall mortality. To learn more about these medications, join Dr. Gates Colbert, Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at Texas A&M College of Medicine, and Nephrologist and Certified Hypertension Specialist at Kidney and Hypertension Associates of Dallas.

Here in the United States, we're investing a little more into cost effectiveness to make the best use of very limited healthcare resources. When ready-to-administer (RTA) syringe products were compared against traditional vial and syringe, there was a significant holistic cost effectiveness benefit. So what other benefits do we need to know about? Dive in with Dr. Charles Turck for a comprehensive review of RTA prefilled syringes with Dr. John Hertig, Vice Chair and Associate Professor of Pharmacy Practice at Butler University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences in Indianapolis.

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found that kidney disease awareness among patients in the U.S. is very low. And alarmingly, the proportion of awareness has not changed much over the 15-year period of this study. To uncover more of the findings and how to improve CKD awareness, tune into this discussion with Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Ashley Baker as she takes a deep dive with Dr. Chi D. Chu, Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Nephrology at the University of California San Francisco and coauthor of the article published in the American Journal of Kidney Diseases, titled “CKD Awareness Among US Adults by Future Risk of Kidney Failure.

Patients with asthma who have experienced challenges with exercise may find that they are hesitant to exercise again in the future, or they may think it’s not safe to pursue. However, artificial intelligence (AI) may be a useful tool in promoting exercise in asthma patients due to its ability to generate a personalized approach for the patient with a quick turnaround. Explore the benefits between AI and exercise in asthma patients with Dr. Basil Kahwash, Assistant Professor of Medicine on the Clinical Educator Track in the Department of Medicine at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. He also spoke about this topic at the 2023 Annual ANAC conference in his session, titled “Managing Co-Occurring Conditions: A Clinical Update.”
