Overview Of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) & Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)/End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
There is a high prevalence of depression among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This presentation will examine the clinical overlap between CKD and major depressive disorder (MDD) in symptomatology, behavioral and biological mechanisms, the impact of comorbid depression on CKD outcomes, and strategies for effective management of depression in CKD.
Objectives
- Discuss the high prevalence of depression in patients with CKD.
- Discuss how overlap of symptomatology between MDD and CKD makes diagnosing depression in the setting of CKD challenging.
- Discuss the association of MDD with poor outcomes in CKD.
- Discuss potential risk factors and mechanism of MDD in CKD.
- Discuss the cycle between MDD and ESRD.
- Address challenges in MDD management considerations in CKD patients.
