The Whole Kidney and Caboodle: Incorporating Guideline-Based Recommendations to Identify and Manage Chronic Kidney Disease and Reduce Cardiovascular Risks

Most patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are unaware they have it. Guidelines have established well-known risk factors for CKD to help identify and screen patients, but many patients remain unscreened and untreated, leading to kidney disease progression, cardiovascular disease, morbidity, and mortality. As the most accessible healthcare professionals, pharmacists are uniquely positioned to identify and screen patients at risk for CKD. Pharmacists can apply guideline recommendations to provide holistic care and improve outcomes and reduce cardiovascular risks for patients with CKD. This educational activity will discuss the cardiovascular risks of CKD and approaches to identifying and screening patients at risk of CKD. This activity will also provide strategies to implement guideline-recommended care of CKD and provide real-world examples of best practices in multidisciplinary care and patient education to equip and inspire pharmacists to bridge gaps across the cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic spectrum.
