Kidney Week

Translational Session

Complement as a Target in CKD

November 05, 2023 | 09:30 AM - 11:30 AM

Location: Room 108, Pennsylvania Convention Center

Session Description

This session opens with a current status of knowledge for the complement role in nondiabetic kidney diseases, with a particular focus on IgA nephropathy. Subsequently, growing evidence from basic and functional studies in diabetic kidney disease is presented. This is followed by a presentation of clinical, -omics, and biomarker studies in diabetic kidney disease. The last talk speaks to a translational potential of therapeutic agents targeting complement.

Learning Objective(s)

• Summarize current knowledge on the established complement role in nondiabetic kidney disease
• Describe the complement system's role in IgA nephropathy
• Discuss advances in basic research and translational studies of complement in diabetic kidney disease
• Evaluate the potential for implementing complement inhibitors in CKD of differing etiologies

Learning Pathway(s)

• Diabetic Kidney Disease
• CKD Non-Dialysis
