Basic/Clinical Science Session

Immune-Mediated Kidney Diseases in Children

November 06, 2025 | 04:30 PM - 06:00 PM

Location: General Assembly A, Convention Center

Session Description

Immune-mediated kidney disorders, such as IgAN, lupus nephritis, hemolytic uremic syndrome, and nephrotic syndrome, present significant challenges in clinical practice due to their complex pathophysiology, diverse clinical manifestations, and varying responses to treatment. This session provides an evidence-based exploration of the latest advances in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of immune-mediated kidney diseases in pediatric patients.

Learning Objective(s)

• Identify the most up-to-date diagnostic approaches, including the role of biomarkers, genetics, and biopsy, in diagnosing kidney diseases in children
• Summarize the latest new treatment protocols and pharmacologic therapies, including new biologic and immunosuppressive agents, in the management of immune-mediated kidney diseases
• Discuss the evolving role of personalized medicine and precision therapies in pediatric nephrology

Learning Pathway(s)

• Glomerular Diseases
• Pediatric Nephrology
