CME – Common Causes of Kidney Failure and How to Prevent Them

At a recent Continuing Medical Education (CME) session at The Kidney Centre, titled “Common Causes of Kidney Failure and How to Prevent Them”, Dr. Ruqaya Rizwan (Consultant Nephrologist and Associate Professor, The Kidney Centre-PGTI) led an engaging discussion on protecting long-term renal health.

The session explored major drivers of chronic kidney disease (CKD) such as hypertension, diabetes, kidney stones, and UTIs; alongside diagnostic markers like GFR and blood creatinine tests, and essential preventive strategies including lifestyle and dietary modifications.

Empowering healthcare professionals and the community with this knowledge is vital for early detection and reducing the burden of kidney disease.
