Advances in the Pathophysiology and Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease

Artwork of a section through the urinary system showing an infection of a kidney (pyelonephritis, upper left). The affected kidney is sectioned to show the formation of pus (yellow). Pyelonephritis may be either acute or chronic. The acute form is usually caused when bacteria causing cystitis spreads up the ureters (yellow, down left and right) from the bladder.

Discussion Topic:

Identify one recent advance in the pathophysiology of one chronic kidney disease.

In your initial response:

Discuss how the identified advance in the pathophysiology of the disease has led or could lead to advances in the treatment of the disease?

Identify some disparities (racial, ethnic, or underserved) in the pathophysiology and/or treatment outcomes of the disease.

Discuss how knowledge of and advances in pathophysiology can help you acquire the AACN Essential IV: Translating and Integrating Scholarship into Practice [AACN Essentials document (Links to an external site.)][PDF, file size 322.29KB].
