Glomerular Disease Following Kidney Transplantation: Cutting-Edge Therapeutic Approaches

October 26, 2024 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM

Location: Ballroom 20C, Convention Center

Session Description

Glomerular disease is a leading cause of graft loss following kidney transplant, with de novo disease and recurrent glomerulonephritis contributing nearly equally to poor outcomes. This session reviews RCTs in native CKD using novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of glomerular disease and translates these approaches to the transplant setting. Our current understanding of transplant glomerular injury (transplant glomerulopathy) is reviewed and implications for clinical trial design and the potential for individualized therapeutic management are highlighted.

ASN thanks the European Renal Association (ERA) and ERA Ambassador, Dr. Olivier Aubert.

Learning Objective(s)

  • Discuss novel therapeutic interventions for recurrent FSGS following kidney transplant
  • Describe novel therapies for atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome and C3 glomerulonephritis from the CKD setting to the transplant setting
  • Compare and contrast nephroprotective strategies for diabetic kidney disease in people with CKD and in transplant populations
  • Summarize molecular phenotypes of transplant glomerulopathy and treatment implications

Learning Pathway(s)

  • Kidney Transplantation
  • Glomerular Diseases
