Recognition and Management of Community-Acquired Acute Kidney Injury in Low-Resource Settings
Date: Thursday, December 02, 2021
Time: 01:00 PM Eastern Standard Time
Dr. Ravindra Mehta, an internationally recognized nephrologist, will discuss a multi-country, International Society of Nephrology (ISN) sponsored study demonstrating that a comprehensive program of point-of-care creatinine/eGFR testing, urine dipstick testing, and protocolized care management can improve the recognition of AKI in low-resource settings, improve clinical outcomes, and reduce the overall costs of treating kidney disease. Dr. Mehta was the lead author and investigator of the study.
Dr. Begos will highlight the utility and accuracy of Nova StatSensor Creatinine/eGFR for kidney function screening in multiple settings.Speakers
