In this CME video activity, experts in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) give a detailed discussion on the autoimmune disease, providing guidance on recognizing the clinical features and confirming a diagnosis, as well as contemporary strategies to manage diverse disease manifestations. Hear what the experts are doing in their clinics. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Identify systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) as a heterogeneous autoimmune disease with a wide range of clinical and serological manifestations that can affect any organ, Employ appropriate criteria to confirm a diagnosis of SLE, recognizing the clinical utility of available classification systems, Utilize evidence-based tools to monitor disease activity in individual SLE patients in daily clinical practice and guide treatment decisions, Describe current treatment options for SLE according to mechanism of action, efficacy, safety, and impact on patient symptoms/quality of life, Develop treatment plans for individual patients with SLE to control disease activity and prevent or minimize disease flares, drug toxicity, and organ damage, Effectively communicate and collaborate with SLE patients and other care providers to understand and address the needs of each patient and maximize treatment adherence, quality of life, and survival outcomes.

John B. Buse, MD, PhD - Complex Cases in Contemporary Practice: Applying New Evidence for SGLT2 Inhibitors in the Management of Patients With Comorbid Cardiometabolic Diseases

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have intersecting risk factors, and their prevalence has increased dramatically over the past several decades. Accumulating evidence has shown that SGLT2 inhibitors not only improve glycemic control but also potentially target other chronic diseases at the cardiorenal intersection, resulting in improved cardiovascular and renal endpoints for patients with or without T2DM. Revised treatment guidelines from leading endocrinology and cardiology societies prioritize SGLT2 inhibitors, especially in patients with T2DM and atherosclerotic CVD, heart failure, and/or CKD. In this activity, based on a recent live webcast, a multidisciplinary panel of experts reviews FDA-approved indications, treatment guidelines, and the accumulating evidence for SGLT2 inhibitors in comorbid cardiometabolic diseases. To integrate clinical evidence into practice, the experts also present complex patient cases to offer strategies for personalizing treatment plans and improving outcomes for patients with T2DM, heart failure, and CKD. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to: Recognize FDA-approved indications and the placement of SGLT2 inhibitors in current treatment guidelines, Summarize the proposed mechanism(s) supporting the therapeutic potential of SGLT2 inhibitors to target cardiorenal endpoints in patients with and without T2DM, Evaluate safety and efficacy results from clinical trials and real-world studies of SGLT2 inhibitors to optimize cardiorenal outcomes in patients with and without T2DM, Incorporate SGLT2 inhibitors, as appropriate, into the care of clinically complex patients with comorbid cardiovascular, renal, and/or metabolic diseases.

Go online to PeerView.com/KMS860 to view the activity, download slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn credit. In this infographic-based activity, an expert in chronic kidney disease (CKD) discusses anemia in CKD and explores the potential role of HIF-PH inhibitors in the treatment of this condition. Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: Identify the epidemiology, pathology, and burden of anemia associated with CKD, Discuss limitations of the current model of treatment for anemia associated with CKD, Differentiate the mechanisms of action of current and emerging treatments for anemia associated with CKD, Recognize the benefits and limitations of current and emerging agents to treat anemia in CKD.
