Glomerular Diseases: 2024 Update
Course Description
Glomerular medicine is exploding with exciting new understanding of disease pathogenesis, which has led to developments in novel genetic and serological diagnostic tools, clinical trials, and potential treatments. This program explores novel changes in IgAN/Henoch-Schonlein purpura, lupus nephritis, podocytopathies (FSGS/minimal change disease), membranous GN, atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome/C3 glomerulopathy, diabetic kidney disease, glomerular disease as "CKD," and monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance. Hot topics are reviewed, including how and when to use genetics in the diagnosis and treatment of glomerular diseases, chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy, balancing cost and efficacy of new medications for glomerular diseases, and precision medicine and clinical trials. Experts present cutting-edge clinical applications in treatment, pathology, and genetics that continue to change the diagnostic and therapeutic landscape in glomerular diseases.
Course Objective(s)
Upon completion of this program, the participant will be able to: 1) describe the pathophysiology, pathology, diagnostics, and therapeutic options for glomerular diseases; 2) summarize information from current basic and clinical research studies and apply to the diagnosis and management of glomerular diseases; 3) analyze nuances in the treatment of patients with difficult-to-manage glomerular diseases; and 4) discuss when to use novel medications and/or to enroll patients in clinical trials as medical therapy options.
