Description of the Webinar
Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with pediatric-onset chronic kidney disease (CKD) have great survival and will transfer to adult-focused health care. These AYA need to undergo health care transition preparation. While the process of health care transition begins in the pediatric settings, adult-focused providers need to continue to assist these AYA to successfully self-manage their disease and co-morbidities. In this webinar we will discuss how to prepare AYA to self-manage their conditions, based on measurement tools and lessons from the field.
