Kidney Disease and Cardiovascular Risk in Primary Care
Jennifer Ennis, MD, FACP | Elizabeth Montgomery
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) screening and early detection for at-risk patients with diabetes and hypertension helps improve patient outcomes. Since a majority of these patients are seen in the primary care setting, these clinicians have the opportunity to be the first line of defense in CKD recognition and improved management.
Join leaders from Labcorp and the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) as they discuss strategies, tools and available resources to assist time constrained primary care practices in identifying and managing patients at risk for CKD and potential associated cardiovascular events. Through a case study you will gain insight on these resources and tools so you can incorporate new strategies into your practice and improve CKD management.

Top 10 Guideline Recommendations about Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Chronic Idiopathic Constipation
Philip Schoenfeld, MD, MSEd, MSc
Primary care providers frequently see patients complaining of abdominal bloating, cramping, or discomfort associated with diarrhea or constipation. Evidence-based guidelines are available, but recommendations developed using the GRADE framework may appear vague. Experts will discuss interpretation and implementation of recommendations developed through the GRADE framework. Recent American College of Gastroenterology Management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome guidelines recommend multiple new diets, treatments, and diagnostic tools to optimize treatment. Finally, appropriate evaluation of these patients includes a careful digital rectal exam. A variety of ano-rectal findings, including anal fissures, hemorrhoids, warts, etc. will be shown as well as identifying pelvic floor dysfunction on rectal exam.
