Kidney Transplantation: 2023 Update
In cooperation with the American Society of Transplantation.
Course Description
This early program focuses on the evaluation and management of patients with kidney transplants, the appropriate selection of donors, and novel strategies to maximize rates of organ utilization and kidney transplantation. Highlighted topics include personalization of immunosuppressive regimens after transplant and monitoring the health of the allograft. Experts discuss the management of complications such as acute and chronic T cell and antibody-mediated rejection, recurrent disease, malignancies, and opportunistic infections. Experts also address disparities in and strategies to mitigate access to kidney transplantation. Immunology, tissue typing, and immunizations are reviewed in this on-demand and in-person program.
