The 35th Annual AAKP Convention featured educational sessions for kidney patients, family members and renal professionals. One session in particular, Maintaining Adequate Nutrition with Chronic Kidney Disease, really hit home with attendees!
 
The presentation provided patients and professionals with information about kidney-friendly diets and how to stay healthy while living with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Dr. William Finn lead the interactive session and attendees were able to ask questions about their dietary needs.
 
Individuals who attended this session were delighted when they were able to sample kidney friendly foods including fruit salad, monkey bread and other goodies. This session was made possible by an educational grant from Shire Pharmaceuticals.
