October 22, 2026 | 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM

Location: Mile High Ballroom 1D, Convention Center

Session Description

The kidneys play a critical role in maintaining homeostasis.

This session discusses selected electrolyte, acid-base, and metabolic disorders in this patient population and explores appropriate management.

Learning Objective(s)

  • Discuss the epidemiology, underlying pathophysiology, and prognostic implications of hyponatremia and hypomagnesemia
  • Summarize the differential diagnosis and treatment strategies of acid-base disorders, especially metabolic alkalosis
  • Describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic crisis in patients with advanced kidney diseases or receiving dialysis
