Swollen Feet: Immune Mechanisms of Glomerular Diseases

October 27, 2024 | 09:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Location: Room 8, Convention Center

Session Description

This session discusses new developments in our understanding of the role of the immune system in the pathobiology of glomerular diseases.

Support is provided by an educational grant from Travere Therapeutics, Inc.

Learning Objective(s)

• Describe the cytoprotective characteristics of proinflammatory cytokine signaling in podocytes
• Define the role of anti-nephrin antibodies in the pathobiology of glomerular diseases
• Discuss the therapeutic potential of novel immunotherapies for the treatment of podocytopathy

Learning Pathway(s)

• Glomerular Diseases
• Kidney Biology and Physiology
