Management of Lipids in CKD
Internists, nephrologists, endocrinologists, and others treating patients with chronic kidney disease will not want to miss a special presentation by Robert Kreisberg, MD, urging early and aggressive treatment of lipid abnormalities in CKD patients. The specific guidance and evidence of lipid-lowering therapy's effectiveness in CKD patients, summarized by Dr. Kreisberg in a new audio CD from Oakstone Medical, may well save lives in this complex population, and will certainly help you determine the proper role of statins and other cholesterol-lowering drugs in your CKD patients. Spending just 30 minutes listening to Dr. Kreisberg's advice is guaranteed to help you improve the care you provide to CKD patients.

Here's what's covered in this clinician's guide:

  • why lipid-lowering therapy must be started early in CKD patients, before they are symptomatic
  • the typical lipid profile in CKD patients, and why "normal" LDL readings may not be so normal
  • the latest data on effectiveness of statin therapy in CKD patients
  • why target LDL levels should be lower in CKD patients than some guidelines recommend
  • dietary recommendations for CKD patients with high LDL but without dyslipidemia, and how they differ from patients with dyslipidemia
  • dosage guidelines for lipid-lowering drugs in CKD patients
  • how statins affect – and don't affect – kidney function
  • using Ezetimibe to boost effectiveness of statins
  • the role fibrates play in risk reduction
  • and much more!
