Educational Symposium

Breaking Barriers: Advances in Understanding and Treating Complement-Mediated Kidney Diseases

November 06, 2025 | 12:45 PM - 01:45 PM

Location: Lanier Grand Ballroom G, Hilton Americas-Houston

Session Description

This engaging symposium explores the latest breakthroughs in the pathophysiology and treatment of complement-mediated kidney diseases (CMKDs), including IgAN and C3 glomerulopathy. Leading experts discuss the intricate role of the complement system in disease progression, emerging biomarkers for early diagnosis, and cutting-edge, complement-targeted therapies that are reshaping the treatment landscape. Attendees gain valuable insights into novel therapeutic strategies, clinical trial updates, and the evolving precision medicine approach in these diseases.

Support is provided by an educational grant from Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation.
