Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Practical Updates in Kidney Stone Prevention and Management

October 23, 2024 | 07:00 AM PDT – 06:00 PM PDT

Location: Room 6B, Convention Center

Session Description

Nephrolithiasis is highly prevalent in the United States, affecting 1 in 11 individuals. Kidney stone rates in the US population are increasing in adults and children, as well as across demographic groups, with NHANES data reflecting a 70% increase in disease prevalence over the last 20 years. As our understanding of the pathogenesis and optimal management of kidney stone disease evolves, nephrology professionals must maintain expertise in the evaluation and treatment of a variety of stone formers. This program presents recent clinical advances and provides opportunities to practice clinical diagnosis and decision-making for both common and rare kidney stone conditions.

Session Objectives

Upon completion of this program, the participant will be able to: 1) identify risk factors for kidney stone formation across the life span; 2) explain the critical role of a multidisciplinary team in kidney stone prevention and management; 3) distinguish therapeutic options for kidney stone prevention by risk factors for disease recurrence; 4) interpret data from 24-hour urine studies to construct a comprehensive management plan for kidney stone formers with various stone types; and 5) identify the systemic complications associated with nephrolithiasis and strategies to mitigate these conditions.
