Basic/Clinical Science Session
Clinical-Pathologic-Molecular Correlations in Diabetic Kidney Disease
November 07, 2025 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Location: General Assembly C, Convention Center
Session Description
Numerous biologic processes and kidney structures are involved in the progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). This session explores classic and nonclassic pathologic changes in DKD and focuses on major cell types and pathologic compartments critical to the natural history of disease.
Learning Objective(s)
- Distinguish between the different pathologic phenotypes of DKD and describe how they correlate with clinical manifestations
- Identify molecular mechanisms by which glomerular epithelial cell injury occurs and explain how this affects the rate of DKD progression
- Describe the role of the tubulointerstitium in different phenotypes of DKD and the mediating factors
Learning Pathway(s)
- Diabetic Kidney Disease
- Pathology
