Pain Management Across the CKD Spectrum
Pain is one of the most prevalent and problematic somatic symptoms in patients with kidney disease that contributes to poor quality of life. Medication options are limited by declining kidney function. This module is designed to equip clinicians with the tools needed to adequately address pain management in patients with chronic kidney disease using a holistic approach.
By the end of this module, learners will be able to:
- Describe etiologies and types of pain in patients with CKD
- Discuss the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of analgesics that could be altered in patients with reduced kidney function
- Discuss non-pharmacologic and preferred pharmacologic options to manage pain in CKD, and develop an individualized plan to manage pain in CKD
- Design a monitoring plan to evaluate the efficacy and side effects of therapeutic options
