The collaboration combines Medscape's 29 years of experience in
nephrology, adult-learning design, and membership of over 13

and practical clinical practice recommendations. KDIGO guidelines
will be available as downloadable resources with the activities to

our strengths in a way that benefits the nephrology community and
patients around the world,” said Danielle Green, KDIGO’s Chief
Executive Officer.
“With Medscape's global platform and reach and KDIGO's
clinically influential guidelines, we are positioned to provide our
members with relevant educational resources, ensuring they are
equipped with the latest advancements and best practices in kidney
care,” said Haleh Kadkhoda, MS, Medscape’s Vice President of
Strategic Partnerships.
Medscape Education will also present four posters at the 61st
ERA Congress, showcasing the data and impact of Medscape nephrology
