Kidney Week

Basic/Clinical Science Session

Advances in Pathomechanisms of AKI

October 24, 2024 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM

Location: Room 4, Convention Center

Session Description

This session reviews the latest advances in understanding of the molecular underpinnings of AKI; discusses potential therapeutic avenues to mitigate AKI severity; and addresses the incredible capacity of the kidneys to defend themselves during injury and prevent transition to CKD.

Learning Objective(s)

  • Explain the molecular mechanisms that potentiate kidney injury
  • Explain the molecular pathways that mediate protection against kidney injury
  • Identify new targetable therapeutics to lower the risk for and mitigate AKI

Learning Pathway(s)

  • AKI and Critical Care
  • Pharmacology
