We extend our deepest condolences to the people of Japan. There is no word in the world that can convey the heartbreak of the images we are exposed to daily. As many have reported, the gaman (endurance) of the Japanese people have long been admired and respected by all cultures. There is little doubt that, with gaman, the Japanese people and nation will recover in time.
We would like to take a moment to Celebrate Black History Month and acknowledge all African-Americans who have contributed so much not only to medicine, but to this nation as a whole.
While we take our heritage for granted at times…we also take for granted the heritage of others.
Take time to reflect upon all races, all religions, all peoples and cultures and realize how blessed we are to be multi-cultural.
To all health professionals nationwide and worldwide, we say thank you for your contributions.

Estimated time to complete this activity: 30 minutes
Activity Overview
More than 10% of the U.S. population has some form of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Although many CKD patients will develop renal failure, most will die of cardiovascular disease before dialysis becomes necessary. It has been unclear if the use of LDL-lowering therapies in CKD patients reduces the risk of cardiovascular events in this patient population.
The National Lipid Association is sponsoring this complimentary CME-certified Web activity entitled, Lipid-Lowering in the Chronic Kidney Disease Patient, to provide perspective on current clinical research in this area as well as expert guidance on optimal treatment strategies for patients with renal disease.
Target Audience
This activity is designed for physicians, physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and other health care professionals who care for people with lipid disorders and/or chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Learning/Educational Objectives
Participants will be expected to show an improvement in their knowledge and competence in the following:
* Incorporate appropriate lipid management strategies for patients with Chronic Kidney Disease, a special risk population
* Review the available clinical evidence pertaining to the effect of lipid-lowering agents on the progression of Chronic Kidney Disease
* Determine the clinical relevance of current research and the potential impact on primary or secondary prevention of coronary artery disease in patients with renal disease
