It is estimated that 37 million American adults have chronic kidney disease, or CKD, and millions of others are at increased risk. In part two of this multipart podcast series, Dr. Benjamin Broom, a nephrologist with Nephrology Associates in Birmingham, Alabama, is joined by Drs. Elizabeth Edwards and Donald DiPette, both of whom are on faculty in the department of internal medicine at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. They will detail what CKD is, as well as some of the causes and conditions that can lead to it. Additionally, they will offer healthcare providers information related to the scope of care for the diagnosis and management of CKD, including possible scenarios that could warrant collaboration with, or a referral to, a nephrologist.
