Chronic Disease and the Kidneys

The purpose of this workshop is to educate about the current status of chronic disease in Latino communities, the risks, prevention, detection and treatment of chronic kidney disease. Given that to a great degree, kidney disease is caused by the presence of diabetes, hypertension and other cardio vascular problems, there will be an emphasis on these conditions.

Objectives:

  1. Promotores will be able to identify the risk factors of kidney disease.
  2. Promotores will be able to identify the most important conditions that lead to chronic kidney disease.
  3. Promotores will be able to identify resources for kidney disease.
