ASN Kidney Week 2024 – Critical Care Nephrology 2024 Update

Each Early Program addresses a specific topic in nephrology and requires separate registration from the Annual Meeting.

Critical Care Nephrology: 2024 Update

Critical Care Nephrology: 2024 Update

Session Description

This program presents state-of-the-art knowledge in critical care nephrology, focusing on the latest advancements in renal replacement therapies (RRT), management of AKI, and use of extracorporeal devices in critical care. Program goals include enhancing interdisciplinary care strategies and improving patient outcomes in the critical care setting. Lectures cover topics such as volume status and fluid optimization, management of dysnatremia, management of sepsis-related kidney injury, management of AKI in various clinical settings, and ethics in the critical care unit.

Discussions include management of critically ill patients with AKI in specific populations, such as pregnant patients and those with cardiac failure, liver disease, or cancer. Short- and long-term outcomes of AKI, management of AKI and persistent dialysis needs, and key considerations in the prescription of RRT are reviewed.

Session Objectives

Upon completion of this program, the participant will be able to: 1) describe the management of sepsis-induced AKI and the microcirculation; 2) discuss volume assessment and fluid management in critically ill patients with AKI; 3) discuss the diagnosis and management of AKI that develops in patients with heart failure, liver disease, cancer, and pregnancy; 4) identify appropriate drug dosing in AKI and nephrotoxin avoidance in the critical care unit; 5) describe long-term, post-hospital care for patients who survive an episode of AKI; and 6) explain kidney replacement modalities and the most appropriate dose and prescription of RRT for critically ill patients with AKI.
