Excerpt

A kidney biopsy is performed for a treatment strategy of renal disease by pathologically diagnosing renal disease. Kidney biopsy is a reliable gold standard technique, but various complications are common when obtaining tissue from an abundant vascular kidney. During a biopsy, vasovagal reflexes, including cold sweat, discomfort, nausea, vomiting, hypotension, and bradycardia, can occur. Hemorrhagic complications after a biopsy are important; 89% of hemorrhagic complications have been reported to occur within 24 h. Therefore, a cooperation system including nurses and physicians by performing intravenous feeding and medication, while performing electrocardiogram monitoring and oxygen saturation monitoring, is necessary. …

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
