Kidney disease is either a cause, associated with or contributes to the acceleration of other comorbid conditions.
COVID-19 affects many tissues and organs due to its entry into cells via the ACE2 receptor (1, 2). Renal damage and loss of function have been observed from asymptomatic to ICU patients. Although the impact on other organs is much more noticeable: reduced lung capacity, myocarditis, vascular damage and brain fog; renal damage is far more hidden, with the true consequences not revealed until decades later (3, 4, 5).
We are already seeing a rise in renal disease due to the obesity and diabetes epidemics. We will now see even more due to a population that has been infected by a virus that evidently causes renal damage (3, 4, 5).
This talk will explore the many ways kidney dysfunction can play a role in advancing many diseases and cause dysfunction in other organs. You will learn how to identify patients most at risk of developing end stage renal disease, and most importantly explore strategies to prevent renal disease progression.
Topics covered include:
- Relationship between COVID-19 and renal disease.
- Why we should care more about renal disease and how to spot a patient at risk.
- How renal disease contributes to other comorbid conditions.
- Lifestyle and nutritional interventions to support chronic kidney disease patients.
Join Dr. Michael Osiecki, the Managing Director of Bio Concepts, in this month’s webinar ‘The Rise of Renal Disease in the COVID Endemic World’.
