CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE IN DIABETES CARE (DKD)

The Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) would be the most comprehensive training course educating health care professionals on the prevention, early detection, and management of diabetic kidney disease, which is one of the common and severe complications of diabetes. The burden of diabetic kidney disease is on the rise given the fact that diabetes is one of the fastest-growing chronic conditions around the world, and thus this course is a valuable resource for professionals involved in diabetes care.

Global Context

Regarding the global case of diabetes, it is of great concern because the IDF has projected more than 537 million adults to be living with diabetes in 2021. This will double to 783 million by 2045. Furthermore, it has become one of the leading causes of kidney failure worldwide, and according to the World Health Organization, there is an urgent need for intervention.

Current research underscores the critical need for better CKD management. This mainly includes increased hospitalizations, dialysis costs, and long-term care.

Course Overview

It should be able to equip the provider fully regarding the pathophysiology of diabetic kidney disease along with the evidence-based strategies available in preventing, diagnosing, and treating this condition early. Advanced management would include pharmaceutical treatments, interventions within lifestyles, and contributions from the team care to result in the maximum benefits for their patients.

Impact of the Course

This course will empower health practitioners with skills and knowledge in the early intervention and comprehensive management of diabetic kidney disease, thereby reducing its incidence and progression. It improves the understanding and management of CKD, which subsequently improves both the quality of life of the patients and the economic advantage of having a healthier workforce; this also has the potential to save healthcare systems around the world from the economic burden posed by kidney disease. This Ccourse will be part of the long-term efforts to reduce the morbidity and mortality due to diabetic kidney disease, considering that the prevalence of diabetes and its complications is rising throughout the world. Healthcare providers finishing this training course will be better equipped to offer more effective care, improve the long-term outcome for patients with diabetes, and make a contribution towards the reduction in global impact of kidney disease among the diabetic population.
