  • Overview

    Please note:This activity is no longer available for continuing education credit.

    A high percentage of patients with chronic kidney disease have low levels of vitamin D leading to secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), which plays a critical role in the development of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). Our experts, Dr. Mario Cozzolino and Dr. Jan Kielstein, discuss the complexity of the condition, early diagnosis, treatment goals, and emerging therapies. Tune in to be sure you’re using all the tools at your disposal to improve your patients’ quality of life.
