Master classes on Chronic Kidney Disease - an educational project of NephroCare Learn
๐ NephroCare Learn is an educational project of master classes, where leading specialists of Ukraine in the field of nephrology and therapy update modern approaches to managing chronic kidney disease, share expert strategies for treating chronic kidney disease.
๐NephroCare Learn is a project that aims to combine the knowledge, learning, and efforts of family doctors and nephrologists, promoting the exchange of experience and the implementation of best practices in the treatment of kidney diseases.
๐ Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is currently a progressive condition affecting more than 10% of the total world population with a total of more than 800 million patients.
The World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that CKD will become the fifth most common chronic disease in 2040.
Data from the Global Burden of Disease study confirm the fact that CKD has become one of the most important causes of global mortality.
The number of patients receiving treatment with methods of renal replacement therapy is growing faster than the population of the world as a whole. Thus, over the past 10 years, the number of patients in the world undergoing dialysis has increased by 70%.
The relevance of the study of chronic kidney disease lies in socio-economic and general medical aspects, since this pathology leads to the invalidation of patients of young, able-bodied age, and is also a burden for the socially vulnerable population - the elderly.
Primary medical care occupies a leading place in the medical provision of the population. Timely diagnosis, the level of morbidity of the population, the duration of temporary disability, the frequency of complications of diseases and the rational use of the bed fund depend significantly on the effectiveness of the work of this link of medical care.
It will be interesting and useful for: nephrologists, family doctors, therapists.
