Sunday at the Annual Dialysis Conference

By Bill Peckham

I'm taking notes but can't maintain the live blogging pace. I'll update this post whenever I get home tonight. I can say it's been a very informative conference. Main take away today: control your sodium.

....

I'm home, dialysis machine set up and dog walked. Apparently my limit for live blogging a conference is one day. It helps to be familiar with the material when live blogging and today I was definitely learning. One thing to report is that many of the conference handouts, often the PowerPoints that I heard, are available online in PDF format. They'll only be available for a limited time but there is some great data to be referenced in blog posts by both Peter and me.

Dr. Laird made the trip over the mountains from Idaho to spend the day at the conference, hopefully he heard some blog fodder that he'll share over the next few days. I'm taking a break tomorrow morning to prepare to go to Baltimore and so that I can be fresh for a program tomorrow afternoon: the discussion of the Kjellstrand address at last year's ADC.

One of the nice things about attending this conference has been hearing Dr. Kjellstrand ask good questions from the podium and from the audience. Hopefully if I take a break tomorrow I'll be fresh for the afternoon session.
