What is it about?
This ASN KHG provides nephrologists and the kidney health community with knowledge on the existing tools for obesity management and guidance on implementation of these tools within clinical practice based on best available evidence and expert opinion. Describing an ideal framework with an underpinning of the importance of psychosocial aspects of care to support medical interventions; (e.g., lifestyle modifications and pharmacological interventions) this guidance requires a multi-disciplinary kidney care team for optimization of outcomes. The kidney community, in partnership with ASN, can work toward advocating for policy, reimbursement, and infrastructure changes to support this ideal model.
