We will address pathophysiologic and clinical issues in the major areas of nephrology, including:

Glomerular disease
Acute renal failure
Kidney transplantation
Xenotransplantion
Immunosuppressive management
Hypertension
Pregnancy and renal disease
Onco-nephrology
Acid-base and fluid and electrolyte disorders
Potassium balance
Climate change and kidney disease
Primary hyperaldosteronism
Bone mineral disorders
Lupus nephritis
Diuretic resistance
Dialysis
Kidney stones
Polycystic kidney disease
Genetic renal diseases
Cardiorenal and hepatorenal syndrome

Presenters will also discuss diagnostic testing, well-recognized medical complications, evidence-based treatment plans and provide specific management strategies and recommendations to optimize care.

Designed by and for clinicians, the curriculum focuses on state-of-the-art approaches to the challenges we face and the best ways to apply these approaches to our practice to provide exceptional patient care

Highlights of this program include:

New Medications: Practical applications of the latest treatments for diabetes mellitus, proteinuria and obesity in the context of CKD.
Hypertension Management: The latest strategies for controlling hypertension, focusing on the role of aldosterone excess.
Renal Diseases: Advanced insights into the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of IgA nephropathy, membranous nephropathy, minimal change disease and FSGS.
Genetic Testing: Up-to-date guidance on genetic testing and its importance in the CKD clinic.
Kidney Transplantation: A comprehensive overview of kidney transplantation, addressing infections, malignancies and common complications.
Immunosuppressive Therapies: Crucial updates on immunosuppressive treatments for kidney transplant recipients, including novel therapies.
Dialysis Management: Best practices for managing dialysis access and peritoneal dialysis, including handling complications.
Electrolyte and Acid-Base Disorders: State-of-the-art sessions on the physiology of electrolyte and acid-base disorders.
Onco-Nephrology: In-depth exploration of this emerging field and its clinical implications.

This is an excellent opportunity to learn the latest “best practices” and enhance your clinical skills. Both new and returning attendees will benefit from the comprehensive curriculum.
