Patients with chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) often face delays in diagnosis and treatment, as well as potential side effects from some prescribed medicines. Tune in as our experts dive into the burden of CKD-aP symptoms and break down the long-term outcomes and benefits of new and emerging treatments.

This program contains important information about the limitations of current therapies used to treat plaque psoriasis. Drs. Kim Papp and Jerry Bagel discuss these shortcomings and outline clinical data on investigational oral medications for plaque psoriasis.

Patients with advanced kidney disease undergoing dialysis are frequently affected by the symptom clusters of chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus, or CKD-aP. These symptoms have the potential to significantly diminish patients’ quality of life by affecting sleep, mental health, and more. This activity reviews best practices for communicating with patients about symptoms and how to use shared decision-making strategies to develop personalized CKD-aP treatment plans.

Patients with chronic kidney disease may be experiencing severe itch, known as CKD-associated pruritus (CKD-aP). Itching and related symptoms, such as reduced sleep and depression, may be causing a significant negative impact on their quality of life. Join our experts as they use real-world patient cases to illustrate how to identify and treat itch, provide relief from itch-related symptoms, and improve quality of life in your patients with CKD-aP.

Chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) is an underreported and underdiagnosed condition that affects a significant proportion of patients with advanced kidney disease undergoing dialysis. But with the approval of difelikefalin, many patients have experienced symptom improvement not only in their itching but in their quality of life. Join the experts as they review the newest real-world data and clinical results of difelikefalin presented at ERA.

Infants have the highest incidence of atopic dermatitis in the US but the fewest treatment options. This is a case a doctor submitted about a baby who is refractory to multiple oral and topical treatments. A multidisciplinary panel discusses how they would approach the baby's treatment, emerging options for this vulnerable patient population, and if anything can be done now to prevent progression of the atopic march later.

“I begged my doctor for something else – there had to be something else,” Pam.

For over 50 years, Pam suffered with uncontrolled moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). She experienced the evolution of treatment strategies over the course of the several decades, trying everything from topicals to off-label targeted systemic agents. She was willing to try anything to make the unbearable itch go away. In this roundtable discussion, we brought Pam and her dermatologist to discuss AD with a multidisciplinary physician panel. Together they weigh in on experimental and newly approved therapies, management strategies, impact on quality-of-life, and shared decision-making techniques, all supplemented by Pam’s unfiltered, down-to-earth reality check of what life with AD and all these drugs really feels like.
