On Wednesday February 15th, the PKD Foundation of Canada hosted, “Medical Cannabis in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease.” We were joined by Dr. Micheli Bevilacqua, a nephrologist, Dr. Dan Martinusen and Dr. Claudia Ho, pharmacists, and Paul Watson, a PKD patient. Topics of discussion included:

– An overview of the current state of evidence regarding use of cannabis in people living with kidney disease
– Practical considerations for those using or considering using cannabis
– How cannabis use integrates into overall care of people living with kidney disease
– Discussion of lived experience using cannabis as part of management of polycystic kidney disease symptoms
