Medical Training AIKidney Disease Management
Work through CKD staging, AKI classification, and fluid and electrolyte disorders with the same reasoning you'd apply at the bedside.
What this track covers
This track covers the core decisions in nephrology practice: staging and slowing CKD progression, distinguishing pre-renal, intrinsic, and post-renal AKI, and managing sodium, potassium, calcium, and phosphorus disorders. It also covers when and how dialysis fits into a patient's care.
What you will practice
- Stage CKD from eGFR and interpret trends over time
- Differentiate pre-renal, intrinsic, and post-renal AKI at the bedside
- Work up hyponatremia and avoid overcorrection
- Recognize and manage hyperkalemia as an emergency
- Decide when a patient meets criteria for dialysis
Simulator scenario
A hospitalized patient with rising creatinine and new hyperkalemia who needs a stepwise workup and an urgent management decision.
Board question topics
- CKD staging and eGFR interpretation
- AKI classification and initial workup
- Hyperkalemia recognition and management
- Dialysis indications and modality selection
