Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) - Causes, Complications, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Dive into a comprehensive video lecture on Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) presented by Professor Zach Murphy. Explore the various causes, including hypertension, diabetes, and glomerulonephritis, before delving into the pathophysiology and common clinical features such as fatigue, fluid retention, and electrolyte imbalances. Learn about the diagnostic approach and management strategies, covering lifestyle modifications, pharmacologic therapies, and potential renal replacement options. Gain in-depth knowledge about CKD complications, including metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, hypervolemia, uremia, secondary hypertension, hyperparathyroidism, anemia, and hyperlipidemia. Note the correction regarding decreased cortical thickness due to progressive nephron loss. Benefit from a well-structured presentation with a detailed table of contents for easy navigation through this informative and engaging 86-minute lecture on clinical medicine.

Correction at -- Zach states correctly that there is a decreased cortical thickness. However, the algorithm was incorrectly annotated with an increased cortical thickness. Please remember that the correct information is a DECREASE in cortical thickness due to a progressive loss of nephrons.
