Burden of Kidney Diseases East and West: Joint ASN-CSN Session
November 08, 2019 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Location: Salon C, Walter E. Washington Convention Center
Session Description
In this inaugural joint session between CSN and ASN, the theme is the burden of kidney diseases in the East and West. The session begins with a review of the burden of CKD in China followed by a discussion on changing perspectives of AKI in China. There are different patterns in the epidemiology of glomerular diseases in China as compared with the West, and these differences are discussed. Potential reasons for the changes in epidemiology are reviewed, including the possible role of pollution as a risk factor for the increased incidence of membranous glomerulonephritis.
ASN thanks the Chinese Society of Nephrology for assistance with this session.
