Faculty discuss the clinical consequences of treatment delays, highlight real-world challenges to intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy adherence, and examine disparities in access to care. Learners will explore best practices for identifying patients at risk for progression, optimizing referrals from optometry to retina specialists, and implementing patient-centered communication strategies to improve outcomes. Emphasis is placed on leveraging imaging tools for earlier detection, addressing cultural and socioeconomic barriers, and adopting practice-level interventions to reduce loss to follow-up.=

Steven Fishbane and Maurizio Gallieni discuss chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP), a prevalent and under-recognized complication of CKD. They review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and treatment strategies supported by pivotal phase 3 trials and new European S2k guidelines, including the use of difelikefalin, a kappa-opioid receptor agonist. Additional insights from biomarker analyses in the KALM studies underscore the link between inflammation and pruritus severity, suggesting a dual mechanism of action for difelikefalin. The program emphasizes the importance of actively screening for CKD-aP and using validated tools to assess symptom burden in clinical practice.=

Ellie Kelepouris and Nihar Desai examine clinical challenges in managing hyperkalemia among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and heart failure (HF). They explore the use of modern potassium binders to sustain guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) with renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors and break down the differences between patiromer and sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC). Their discussion includes guideline recommendations from KDIGO and European societies, the sodium-related safety signals with SZC, and supporting data from trials such as REALIZE-K and DIAMOND. Findings from the CARE-HK registry are also discussed, highlighting low potassium binder use despite high rates of recurrent hyperkalemia and underutilization of GDMT in advanced CKD.=

Recent findings show that these patients carry significant annual rates of CV death and heart failure (HF) hospitalization, despite adherence to quadruple guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) and device support. For cardiologists, the challenge is twofold: accurately identifying high-risk individuals without overt clinical deterioration and knowing when and how to intensify therapy in patients who appear stable but remain vulnerable. Recent data show that soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) may provide significant reductions in CV death and all-cause mortality, particularly in individuals with moderately elevated NT-proBNP (≤6,000 pg/mL). These findings are especially important because this population is far more common in routine cardiology practice and has historically been overlooked in discussions of additional therapy. However, cardiologists often underestimate risk in these ambulatory patients and may hesitate to add therapies when GDMT appears to be working well.

These annual rates have been estimated to exceed 10%–20%, despite adherence to quadruple guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) and device support. This paradox of clinical stability on the surface, yet significant residual risk underneath, creates a critical blind spot in the management of chronic HFrEF. Recent data show that the addition of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulators provides significant reductions in CV death and all-cause mortality, particularly in individuals with moderately elevated NT-proBNP (≤6,000 pg/mL). These findings are especially important because this population is far more common in routine cardiology practice and has historically been overlooked in discussions of additional therapy.

Despite adherence to quadruple guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) and device support, these “stable,” guideline-treated patients carry residual risk for CV death. Recent evidence shows that the addition of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulators provides significant reductions in CV death and all-cause mortality, particularly in individuals with moderately elevated NT-proBNP (≤6,000 pg/mL). However, cardiologists often underestimate risk in these ambulatory patients and may hesitate to add therapies when GDMT appears to be working well.

CME credits: 1.00 Valid until: 02-01-2027 Claim your CME credit at https://reachmd.com/programs/cme/asparaginase-based-treatment-young-adults-all/37193/ Are you up to date on treatment strategies for young adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)? Evolving evidence and clinical guidelines now strongly support the use of asparaginase-based, pediatric-inspired regimens over traditional adult protocols for young adults with ALL. However, many patients continue to be treated with adult protocols that lack asparaginase and are associated with poorer outcomes. In this dynamic, case-based activity, celebrity advocates Rob Benedict and Abbie Cobb, leading leukemia experts, and real people who have been treated for ALL explore practical foundations for successful asparaginase therapy. Leveraging new consensus recommendations, faculty experts explain how to select and when to switch asparaginase formulations, how to monitor serum asparaginase activity, and strategies to mitigate key toxicities while avoiding early asparaginase discontinuation that can compromise survival. Real-world stories from young adults who have been treated for ALL highlight the stakes of getting this right and the challenges of access, adherence, and comprehensive care that clinicians can address in everyday practice. Learning Goal/Purpose The goal of this educational activity is to enhance the knowledge, competence, and confidence that hematology/oncology healthcare providers need to achieve better outcomes for young adults with ALL through more consistent application of pediatric-inspired regimens, optimized …=
