This episode of Kidney Health Connections features a conversation with Dr. Marc Brazie, a nephrologist at Metropolitan Nephrology Associates in Northern Virginia, about patient education in kidney care. Dr. Brazie discusses the evolution of his practice's approach to patient education and emphasizes the challenges of educating patients about chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly when many patients are referred late in their disease progression or are unaware that they have kidney disease.
The discussion highlights the importance of early intervention and education and the promise of new medications such as SGLT2 inhibitors in slowing disease progression. Dr. Brazie stresses the significance of breaking down education into manageable segments rather than overwhelming patients with information, and the benefits of using advanced practice providers and renal care coordinators to deliver education effectively. He also emphasizes the importance of using tools such as the kidney failure risk equation and Interwell Learning to help patients understand their condition and the potential benefits of various treatments.
