During the 'Renal Update 2026' Continuing Medical Education (CME) program held at Apollo Speciality Hospitals in Tiruchi, medical experts underscored the increasing prevalence of kidney diseases in India. They emphasized the critical role of continuous medical education in enhancing clinical practices and ensuring evidence-based patient care. The sessions covered a variety of nephrology topics, such as tropical acute kidney injury, urolithiasis, renal disease during pregnancy, and acute kidney injury in critically ill patients. Experts pointed out that kidney diseases often progress without noticeable symptoms, leading to late detection and poorer outcomes. Therefore, they called for heightened awareness, early diagnosis, and preventive measures to improve patient management. The event also featured a video presentation showcasing the hospital's achievements in nephrology, which included over 400 successful kidney transplants and more than 6,000 dialysis procedures performed each year. Notable attendees included Jayaraman, the Unit Head and Assistant Vice President of Apollo Speciality Hospitals, Ashraf, a former Vice President of the Indian Medical Association, and T. Dhinakaran from the Madurai Kidney Centre.
