Webinar: A practical approach to SDMA beyond CKD
Duration: 60 min
SDMA is more than just a chronic kidney disease biomarker. It is more sensitive and more reliable than creatinine and is an earlier indicator of progressive kidney function loss due to acute or chronic disease. SDMA provides value in wellness testing and in evaluations other than wellness examinations, a topic that will include analysis of a new data set. An elevated SDMA can also be an indicator of concurrent diseases that can secondarily impact kidney function and should be investigated.
Learning Objectives:
- Explaining how SDMA is a biomarker of GFR and how it can add value in traditional diagnostics in kidney disease in well and sick patients.
- Assessing what next steps should be taken when SDMA is increased.
- Illustrating the application of updated IRIS guidelines and how to use creatinine for staging CKD.
- Reviewing clinical cases for diagnosing & monitoring of kidney disease.

Webinar: Reticulocyte count: Why they are more important than just classifying anemia
Duration: 60 min
Watch our free of charge webinar presented by Dr. Dennis DeNicola on the ways reticulocyte count is estimated.
In this webinar, we will review how the absolute reticulocyte count measures bone marrow response to demand for red blood cells. The quantity and quality of the reticulocyte provides insight into relatively common diseases with or without anemia. Case material will be used as a foundation for discussion on why reticulocyte count.
Learning objectives
- Review the different ways in which reticulocyte counts can be estimated and their limitations
- Illustrate why the reticulocyte count is critical for differentiating regenerative from nonregenerative anemia
- Understand why there is high value of having a reticulocyte count when there is no anemia
- Understand how to use reticulocyte indices, particularly reticulocyte hemoglobin content (RETIC-HGB) as a sensitive and specific measure of iron availability for normal RBC production
Webinar: I need reticulocytes, please!
Duration: 60 min
In this webinar, we will review the function of the reticulocyte count in the diagnosis and classification of anemia.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss why the reticulocyte count is the only way to accurately classify anemia, while MCV, MCHC and RDW parameters are often used instead.
- Review actual clinical cases and discuss how the reticulocyte count play an instrumental role in the final diagnosis.
