The Epidemiology and Pathophysiology of Kidney Diseases in Aged Society: Joint ASN-JSN Session
October 24, 2020 | 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Location: On-Demand
Session Description
Cutting-edge science that crosses the spectrum of AKI and CKD is the center of this session. The common theme is novel pathophysiologic mechanisms in kidney diseases. The goal is to begin to define new targets for the treatment of kidney diseases. The session includes discussions of the clinical epidemiology and basic pathophysiology of kidney diseases. The insights of this session can be applicable to a wide range of nephrologists all over the world.
ASN thanks the Japanese Society of Nephrology for assistance with this session.

Kunihiro Matsushita, MD, PhD
Dr. Matsushita is Associate Professor of Epidemiology and Medicine and a member of the Welch Center at Johns Hopkins University. His area of research interest includes cardiovascular and kidney disease epidemiology, especially cardiorenal interaction, risk prediction, hypertension, heart failure, and peripheral artery disease. His goal is to apply epidemiological methods to create an evidence base to improve the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and their risk factors.
