Kidney disease (not just CKD) is out there and often missed in primary care. Really it is easy to catch and all we ask is that you give the kidney a thought. Using a series of real-life (MISSED!) cases, we hope to make the trip through the kidney a fun and funny trip. Enjoy the embarrassment of others! Join us as we travel through the wilds of nephrotic syndrome, nephritic disease and glomerulonephritis and all those other things you thought you would NEVER have to deal with after you graduated PA school.  Objectives inlcude:

1. Discuss the incidence of nephrotic/nephritic patients in primary care.
2. Review incidence of glomerulonephritis, how they present in office/urgent care and how they are influenced by SDOH.
3. Using true-life presentations, review each type of hidden kidney diagnosis.
