Overview

Part one of this two-part programme focuses on our current guideline-directed approach to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and how SGLT-2 inhibitors can be used to maximal effect. Chaired by Prof James Burton (University of Leicester, UK), this roundtable features expert insight from a world-renowned faculty, Prof David Wheeler (University College London, UK), Dr Navdeep Tangri (University of Manitoba, CA), and Prof Carol Pollock (University of Sydney, AUS).

 

Our expert panel unravel the complexities of CKD care in the context of a real-world patient case. Following this, join us for part two where the panel will revisit the patient case in reflection of recent guideline updates and provide you with evidence-based strategies for initiating pharmacological therapies that transcend the theoretical and become actionable in everyday practice.

 

Note, the live version of this session was CME accredited; this on-demand version is not.

 

This programme is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from AstraZeneca.

David Wheeler

David Wheeler

Professor of Kidney Medicine

David Wheeler is Professor of Kidney Medicine at University College London and Honorary Consultant Nephrologist at the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust.

Prof Wheeler is a clinician scientist interested in the complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD), specifically those that increase the burden of cardiovascular disease and/or accelerate progression of kidney failure. He has participated in the development and running of several large-scale clinical trials testing lipid-lowering regimens, calcimimetics, intravenous iron, sodium–glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors and hypoxia-inducible factor stabilisers in patients with CKD.

Prof Wheeler has also been involved in the development of clinical practice guidelines for several organisations, most recently for Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO).
