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.

James Burton

James Burton

Professor of Renal Medicine

Prof James Burton is Honorary Consultant Nephrologist and Professor of Renal Medicine and Associate Dean for Clinical Research at the University of Leicester, Leicester, UK. His principal research interests are the mechanisms underlying uraemic cardiovascular disease modification of cardiovascular risk in patients with end-stage renal disease and the identification and application of novel biomarkers.

In addition Prof Burton is involved in the development and running of clinical trials; he is Chief Investigator for the NIHR funded NightLife trial investigating the impact of nocturnal dialysis on patient outcomes as well as the Kidney Research UK funded CONFIRM study exploring the utility of a novel cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques in haemodialysis patients. Prof Burton is the independent Chair of two multi-centre NIHR Trial Steering Committees and sits on a number of others.

He is the current Chair of the UK Kidney Association Clinical…

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). He served as KDIGO co-Chair between 2012 and 2019. His ongoing roles include serving as the National Specialty Lead for the…

Professor of Medicine in the Division of Nephrology

Dr Navdeep Tangri is a Professor of Medicine in the Division of Nephrology at University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, CA.

Dr Tangri's research programme is focused on the clinical management of patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. He developed the kidney failure risk equation (KFRE) to predict the need for dialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease.
