Guest: Emilio Sanchez, MD, PhD
Despite its prevalence, chronic kidney disease–associated pruritus (CKD-aP) remains underrecognized and undertreated in patients undergoing hemodialysis, owing to its complex pathophysiology, diagnostic challenges, symptom cluster etiology, and multidimensional impact on quality of life. Learn best practices from the experts, including how to use validated tools and structured approaches for assessing CKD-aP severity, and evidence-based, patient-centered treatment strategies. Using real-world case reviews, explore the value of multidisciplinary care, communication, and shared decision-making to address the physical and psychosocial complexities of CKD-aP.
