ForwardPulse: Balancing the Charge: Electrolyte Imbalances After Solid Organ Transplant
New medications and new guidelines are constantly being released. Pharmacists need a mechanism to keep up with these new medications and guidelines.
A significant problem in current practice is the inconsistent identification and management of electrolyte imbalances in solid organ transplant recipients, which can be exacerbated by immunosuppressive regimens and post-transplant complications. These imbalances, if not properly addressed, can lead to adverse clinical outcomes and graft dysfunction. This educational session seeks to provide healthcare providers with the knowledge to better understand, diagnose, and treat these imbalances to improve patient care and long-term transplant success.
Target Audience
