Content Overview:
This conference provides a comprehensive update on current trends and best practices in nephrology, highlighting
advances in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Sessions will explore the expanding role of GLP-1 receptor agonists beyond glycemic control, the benefits of structured exercise programs for CKD patients, and the evolving management of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Attendees will also receive practical guidance on implementing updated eGFR protocols and recognizing the impact of frailty on kidney disease outcomes.

KHAKY invites you to join us at our annual renal conference as we celebrate 55 years of serving kidney patients in Kentucky!

Sept 1971-Sept 2026

Objectives:

Review current advances in chronic kidney disease (CKD) management, including emerging therapies such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, evolving treatment strategies for IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and updated eGFR protocols.

Describe evidence-based approaches to improving patient outcomes through exercise programs, frailty assessment and management, and individualized care across the stages of CKD.

Examine the patient and healthcare provider perspectives on living with CKD, emphasizing shared decision-making, patient education, and interdisciplinary collaboration throughout the continuum of kidney disease.

Identify strategies to support the well-being and resilience of renal healthcare professionals, including the use of relaxation and stress-management techniques to promote personal wellness and enhance patient care.
