AUSTIN, TEXAS (PRWEB) November 25, 2014

Montefiore Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University and Rockpointe are pleased to announce a new online Continuing Medical Education (CME) activity titled, Hyponatremia: Detection and Management in the Hospital Setting.

Hyponatremia is a common electrolyte disorder associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This condition often goes undiagnosed and untreated due to patients being asymptomatic or presents as a complication of a serious medical illness that requires dedicated medical attention. Hospital-based clinicians who commonly encounter patients with hyponatremia are strongly encouraged to participate in this online CME activity at: http://www.rockpointe.com/Einstein/Montefiore/Hyponatremia

Dr. Ladan Golestaneh, Associate Professor of Medicine (Adult Nephrology) from Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center will present this program. After attending this online activity participating physicians should be able to demonstrate the ability to: identify hospitalized patients with hyponatremia that require improvement in serum sodium levels; evaluate when and how various therapeutic options should be utilized in the treatment of hyponatremia; analyze the pathophysiology of hyponatremia development in the workup and treatment of the disorder; and recognize the limitations of some diagnostic tests in the setting of renal failure and proceed with the appropriate management of hyponatremia in the setting of renal failure. Physicians may earn up to 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s).
