Detecting and Diagnosing Chronic Kidney Disease in Primary Care

Chronic kidney disease: common, harmful, treatable and often over-looked.

How many people have you diagnosed with chronic kidney disease this week?

Primary care clinicians play a pivotal role in the early detection and care of people with CKD. This role has become even more crucial as more than 6M Australian adults are at risk of CKD and more than 2M live with CKD. A staggering 90% of kidney function can be lost before people experience symptoms.

This webinar will explore how to identify, detect, and diagnose chronic kidney disease in at risk populations. The three elements of the Kidney Health Check are effective in detecting CKD however it is the uACR test that predicts heightened kidney and cardiovascular risk. We will also share tips for creating a simple plan to detect and diagnose chronic kidney disease in individuals without a coded diagnosis in practice software.

Managing cardiometabolic health for people on psychotropic medications

People who experience a severe mental illness die 15 to 20 years earlier than the general population. Preventable cardiometabolic diseases are the main reason for this life expectancy gap.

This presentation will summarise current knowledge of cardiometabolic health risks for people living with severe mental illness, and demonstrate how the Positive Cardiometabolic Health Resources – in both adult and adolescent versions – and the Tobacco Treatment Framework can be used to identify and manage these risks. 

Presented by: Dr Andrew Watkins Mental Health Consultant and Nurse Practitioner, and Catherine O’Donnell.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Identify the specialist cardiometabolic needs of people taking psychotropic medications. 

  • Summarise how to prescribe antipsychotics in a manner that minimises cardiometabolic impact. 

  • Demonstrate how to safely assist people with mental illness to quit smoking. 

  • Implement identified frameworks to guide cardiometabolic health care for people with severe mental illness. 

Target audience: GPs, Pharmacists, Nurses, Practice Managers, Practice Staff, AHPs
