Basic/Clinical Science Session
New Insights into Old Kidneys: Pathophysiology of Aging Kidneys and Potential Therapies
October 23, 2026 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Location: Room 203, Convention Center
Session Description
This session presents new data on the pathophysiology of aging kidneys across diverse cellular microenvironments, including cellular senescence, epigenetic changes, tertiary lymphoid structures, and DNA repair responses. The session also discusses how aging kidneys influence injury responses.
Learning Objective(s)
- Describe how aging affects the kidneys
- Define targetable pathways that mediate age-related changes in the kidneys
- Discuss how aging augments susceptibility to kidney injuries
Learning Pathway(s)
- CKD Non-Dialysis
- Geriatric Nephrology
