Location: Room 25, Convention Center
Session Description
This session explores the intricate interplay between sex and development of CKD. Understanding the influence of sex hormones and genetics brings to light their roles in shaping kidney function and susceptibility to CKD. The session highlights the critical importance of recognizing sex-specific differences in risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment of CKD.
