Day 2 will focus on nutritional management of spectrum of CKD for prevention of protein-energy- wasting in CKD patients.
The course will be helpful in planning more focussed approach in management of patients and will be an opportunity to interact with groups working in renal nutrition. Uttar Pradesh Medical Council has approved 8 credit hours for this course (14467/19/27.2.19).
