Learn About Updates in Nephrology on Webcast.  Needless to say, dialysis has come a long, long way in the decades since. But even more important are recent developments in tactics to prevent progression of renal failure in patients with chronic kidney disease, thus avoiding or delaying the need for dialysis. Many of these new preventive concepts have only emerged in the past three or four years. Consequently, most of us did not learn about them during medical school and residency. So today, we’re going to update you in the management of chronic kidney disease. And to do it, we’re pleased to welcome back Dr. Rima Kang, a nephrologist and assistant professor of internal medicine at the Ohio State University.
