Kidney Week

Basic/Clinical Science Session

Molecular-Driven Management of Lupus Nephritis, One Cell at a Time

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

Location: Room 6A, Convention Center

Session Description

Cellular resolved disease modeling is revealing unprecedented insight into lupus nephritis immunopathobiology. Patients can be stratified based on their immune-cell phenotype in kidney biopsy tissue, circulating immune-cell population, and immune mediators. Insights from studies allow linkage of immune-cell phenotypes with treatment responses, moving toward the goal of personalizing treatment choices and targeted treatment trials in lupus nephritis.

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

Learning Objective(s)

  • Summarize immune-cell pathobiology in lupus nephritis
  • Define subtypes of lupus in mechanistic molecular terms
  • Identify strategies to bring targeted treatments to patients with various lupus subtypes

Learning Pathway(s)

  • Glomerular Diseases
  • Pathology
