Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Practical Updates in Kidney Stone Prevention and Management
Course Description
Nephrolithiasis is highly prevalent in the United States, affecting 1 in 11 individuals. Kidney stone rates in the US population are increasing in adults and children, as well as across demographic groups, with NHANES data reflecting a 70% increase in disease prevalence over the last 20 years. As our understanding of the pathogenesis and optimal management of kidney stone disease evolves, nephrology professionals must maintain expertise in the evaluation and treatment of a variety of stone formers. This program presents recent clinical advances and provides opportunities to practice clinical diagnosis and decision-making for both common and rare kidney stone conditions.
