We will address pathophysiologic and clinical issues in the major areas of nephrology, including:

Glomerular disease
Acute renal failure
Renal transplantation
Xenotransplantion
Immunosuppressive management
Hypertension
Pregnancy and renal disease
COVID-19
Acid-base and fluid and electrolyte disorders
Potassium balance
Renal imaging
Bone mineral disorders
Lupus nephritis
Diuretic resistance
Dialysis
Renal stones
Polycystic kidney disease
Genetic renal diseases
Cardiorenal and hepatorenal syndrome

Presenters will also discuss diagnostic testing, well-recognized medical complications, evidence-based treatment plans and provide specific management strategies and recommendations to optimize care.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS PROGRAM INCLUDE

Latest guidelines and management options for hypertension
Expert discussions on the management of IgA Nephropathy, Membranous Nephropathy, Minimal Change Disease and FSGS
Up-to-date guidance on genetic testing and its role in the CKD clinic
Comprehensive overview of kidney transplantation including infections, malignancies, and well-recognized general complications
Important updates on immunosuppressive therapies for kidney transplant recipients, including novel therapies
Best practices for managing dialysis access and peritoneal dialysis, including complications
