Basic/Clinical Science Session
Nephrotic Syndrome: From Structural Classification to Molecular Basis
November 04, 2023 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Location: Ballroom A, Pennsylvania Convention Center
Session Description
Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome has both structural distinction and emerging understanding about the underlying molecular basis linked to immune dysregulation. This session focuses on developments in pathologic classification together with new understanding about the role of T and B cell involvement and the role of circulating autoantibodies.
ASN thanks the Renal Pathology Society for assistance with this session.
Session support is provided by an educational grant from Travere Therapeutics, Inc.
