Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Interactions and More: Multimorbidity and the Era of Integrated Care, Including the Barry M. Brenner, MD, Endowed Lectureship

November 06, 2025 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM

Location: General Assembly C, Convention Center

Session Description

The understanding of diabetes and its complications has shifted in recent years, leading to greater integration of care in diabetes management, including the use of the term "cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic," or CKM. This session provides an overview of physiological and therapeutic interactions between the kidneys and other organ systems, with a focus on the eyes, liver, and rheumatological factors.

Note: Continuing education credits are not being offered for this session.

ASN gratefully acknowledges Monarch Pharmaceuticals for support of the Brenner Endowed Lectureship.
