  • Overview

    This program discusses the need to increase awareness about APOL1-Mediated Kidney Disease (AMKD), the clinical impact of genotyping for early diagnosis, disease management, and the need for new small-molecule drug treatments. There is currently a lack of awareness among key decision-makers and in the Black community regarding the health disparities and the importance of genotyping in AMKD. Increasing awareness among nephrologists, hospitalists, geneticists, and patient communities on the impact of early genotyping for APOL1 in Black patients have the potential to improve outcomes and reduce health disparities. Moreover, increasing awareness among nephrologists and patient networks may improve clinical trial participation among underrepresented communities, which can directly impact the development of new AMKD treatments.

  • Target Audience

    This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of the interprofessional team, including nephrologists, hospitalists, geneticists, as well as other clinicians, involved in the management of patients with about APOL1-Mediated Kidney Disease (AMKD).

  • Learning Objectives

    After participating in this educational activity, participants should be better able to:

    • Outline the clinical manifestations, causes, and pathogenesis of AMKD
    • Explain the value of genotyping for APOL1 variants and risk assessment for early diagnosis
    • Illustrate the patient experience of AMKD, with a focus on disease burden, current disease management strategies, and the importance of new treatments
  • Accreditation Statement

    In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by Global Learning Collaborative (GLC) and TotalCME, Inc. GLC is jointly accredited by the American Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
