Clinical Practice Session

New Insights into Achieving Meaningful Weight Loss in CKD, Including the Burton D. Rose, MD, Endowed Lectureship

November 03, 2023 | 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM

Location: Room 108, Pennsylvania Convention Center

Session Description

A leading cause of CKD is poor metabolic health due to high-carbohydrate diets and lifestyles that lead to chronically elevated blood glucose and obesity. Given the obesity epidemic and its implications for kidney health, the nephrologist needs to be aware of novel mechanisms and ways to achieve meaningful weight loss. This session addresses several different mechanisms to achieve weight loss in patients with CKD.

ASN gratefully acknowledges Wolters Kluwer (publisher of UpToDate), the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Department of Medicine Foundation, the Rose Family, and several of Dr. Rose's colleagues for supporting this lectureship.
