Translational Session

Improving Kidney Transplant Longevity: Advanced Technologies on the Horizon

October 25, 2024 | 04:30 PM - 06:00 PM

Location: Ballroom 20C, Convention Center

Session Description

Kidney transplant is the optimal mode of kidney replacement therapy, yet still provides a finite functional lifespan. Hearteningly, novel technologies offer opportunities to improve the "expiration date" of kidney transplants. This session highlights advances in donor and recipient matching, artificial intelligence and novel diagnostics, and targeted therapeutic intervention, ultimately maximizing the benefit of this currently scarce resource.

Learning Objective(s)

• Describe advances in pretransplant donor and recipient assessment, including advanced tissue typing
• Compare and contrast novel predictive tools that incorporate histology to aid in identifying kidneys "at risk"
• Explain the current status of blood and urine biomarkers in the management of stable and "unstable" kidney transplants
• Summarize current pharmacological interventions aimed to improve long-term graft survival

Learning Pathway(s)

• Kidney Transplantation
• Pathology
