Managing Chronic Kidney Disease: The Impact of Reducing End-Stage Renal Disease Progression and Complications

This educational activity is supported by unrestricted educational grants from Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Course Description:

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) currently affects 15% of all United States adults, or an estimated 37 million people, with over 600,000 with kidney failure. Current management in CKD focuses on prevention of conditions causing renal dysfunction, commonly hypertension and diabetes, and treatment of complications of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), including anemia, electrolyte imbalances, and mineral and bone disease. New and emerging therapies that target prevention or delay of disease progression are expanding to the non-dialysis dependent CKD population and are expected to greatly impact payers.

Faculty will focus on the common causes of CKD progressing to ESRD, review formulary management trends and strategies, and estimate the budget impact of novel and emerging therapies to payers..

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
  1. Discuss the current chronic kidney disease population, including end-stage renal disease, in the United States.
  2. Explain current payer management for therapies treating common complications of chronic kidney disease.
  3. Identify current and emerging therapies to prevent or delay end-stage renal disease.
  4. Describe factors applicable to determining the budget impact of therapies to prevent or delay end-stage renal disease in the non-dialysis dependent population.
