August Lecture
Chronic Interstitial Nephritis in Agricultural Communities
Date: Aug. 13, 2024
Time: 10-11 a.m. CST
Speaker: Michael Holliday, M.D.
Venue: Virtual (Link will be sent after registration)
Chronic Interstitial Nephritis in Agricultural Communities (CINAC) is increasingly recognized as a significant cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney-related mortality in developing countries around the world. This condition is particularly prevalent among younger, working males in agricultural regions, where environmental factors and occupational hazards contribute to severe renal outcomes. The impact of CINAC is further exacerbated by limited access to renal care and renal replacement therapies, leading to higher morbidity and mortality rates.
In this lecture, Dr. Michael Holliday will delve into the latest research on the potential etiologies of CINAC, shedding light on the environmental and occupational risk factors associated with this disease. Dr. Holliday will also explore future directions for the prevention and treatment of CINAC, offering insights into how healthcare systems and communities can better address this growing health crisis.
