B Vitamins in CKD: Physical Assessment & Considerations
Learn how to assess micronutrient needs beyond standard lab values
Cost: $45
Why this course
B vitamins influence cardiovascular health, red blood cell production, and metabolic function—areas we manage daily in CKD care. Yet assessing B vitamin status in this population is rarely straightforward. Standard lab values don’t always reflect functional status, physical signs can be subtle, and time or resource constraints often limit how deep we can go during assessments.
This roundtable is designed to help you navigate those realities with confidence. Together, we’ll review realistic, clinically meaningful ways to assess B vitamin status using a combination of labs, physical assessment, symptoms, and clinical context—without overcomplicating your workflow. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s clearer clinical reasoning and more confident decision-making you can apply immediately in practice.

Lindsey Zirker MS, RDN, LD
Lindsey has spent over 20 years specializing in renal nutrition — and she’s just as passionate about it today as when she started. As lead clinical dietitian at the Kidney Nutrition Institute (and previously more than a decade at the Idaho Kidney Center), she’s worked alongside clinicians in every corner of renal care.
She writes a monthly column for Renal, Urology and Transplant journal and has been published in multiple scientific papers, but what truly sets her apart is her ability to take complex nutritional science and make it practical. Lindsey blends cutting-edge research with real-world application so dietitians not only understand the “why” behind best practices, but also the “how” to make them work for patients in everyday clinical settings.
