This module introduces you to the prevalence and diagnosis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), the various consequences of the disease and options for how to treat it.
By the end of this module, you will be able to:
✓ Summarise the prevalence, diagnosis and consequences of DKD and the link between cardiovascular disease and DKD
✓ Analyse the evidence from clinical trials underpinning the recommendations for optimal glycaemic and blood pressure control targets and treatment options for people at risk of developing or with DKD
✓ Develop treatment plans for people with DKD in line with the 5-finger rule
This module includes self-marked assessments, such as knowledge checks and/or case studies, as well as a marked final assessment, which you can attempt up to five times. To complete the module, you must review all chapters, pass the final assessment (80% pass mark), and fill in our feedback form.
