Breakthrough Innovations: Ways to Increase Kidney Transplantation in 2021
David Serur, MD
Matthew Cooper, MD
Peter Kennealey, MD, FACS
Innovative ways to increase both deceased and living organ donation are being explored. Many programs now transplant kidneys from deceased donors who had hepatitis C. Donors with HIV can now donate kidneys to recipients with HIV (HOPE Act). The Executive Order on Advancing American Kidney Health also has tremendous potential for increasing kidney donation and transplantation. This session will review ground-breaking paradigms in transplantation.

Severe Mental Illness and Chronic Kidney Disease: Is There a Link?
Brenda Jahnke, MSN, RN, CNS
Nephrology nurses often care for patients with comorbid diseases but may not be as versed in caring for patients with severe mental illness (SMI). This session will provide information about symptoms of SMI and research findings on mental health issues and kidney disease. A highlight of this session will be the importance of this information to daily practice and how to provide the most effective care to patients with SMI.
