Transplant Lunch and Learn Series
How Old is Too Old for Transplant?
In this webinar, Dr. Daniel Katz discusses age-related transplant outcomes for patients aged 65 and older, and the use of higher kidney donor profile index (KDPI) in older patients.
Strategies To Optimize Transplant Referral Readiness and Increase Referrals
Learn how St. Louis Children’s Hospital utilized a referral-readiness tool to increase their transplant referrals and how improved education and communication was effective in removing barriers to timely referrals. This concept can easily be adapted for work with adult end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients.
Understanding the Kidney Allocation System
Learn how the kidney allocation system works and how it can impact the availability of organs for transplant. The kidney allocation system is meant to increase equity in transplant access for candidates nationwide. It prioritizes medical need, optimized timing, and recipient suitability rather than geography or organizational jurisdiction.
Understanding Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) and Estimated Post Transplant Survival (EPTS)
Hear about how KDPI is used to evaluate every kidney from a deceased donor that is offered for transplant and is used in combination with the EPTS, which estimates how long a transplant candidate is likely to benefit from a kidney transplant. This information will help you in educating dialysis patients about KDPI and the options for choosing to receive a higher KDPI kidney.
KDIGO Guideline Review and Transplant Pharmacy
In this webinar, Jarrod Penrod, Pharm.D., will review the highlights of the KDIGO Guidelines. Learn how you can use these guidelines to direct the care of your own patients while learning more about the common medications prescribed to patients for both CKD/ESRD and post-transplant kidney health.
ESRD Treatment Choices Learning Collaborative: How Dialysis Facilities Can Impact This Organ Donation and Transplantation Initiative!
This presentation provides an overview of the CMS/CMMI/HRSA collaborative focused on increasing the number of kidneys recovered and transplanted, including high-KDPI kidneys, while also decreasing the kidney nonuse rate. Learn how the ETCLC works, current outcomes, and key strategies that can be employed by dialysis facilities to drive transplantation for individuals with ESRD.
