Translational Session
Advances in Urinary Biomarkers and Their Use in Kidney Disease Management
October 23, 2026 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Location: Room 107, Convention Center
Session Description
This session explores recent advances in urinary biomarkers and their expanding role in diagnosing, monitoring, and predicting kidney diseases. Experts highlight cutting-edge research, discuss its clinical utility across acute and chronic kidney conditions, and examine how novel biomarker panels may support personalized treatment strategies. Participants gain insight into current challenges, validation efforts, and the path toward integrating urinary biomarkers into routine nephrology practice.
Learning Objective(s)
- Explain how different protein-based soluble biomarkers provide information about kidney damage, inflammation, and regeneration
- Discuss how analyzing cells in the urine using modern methods can help diagnose and monitor kidney diseases
- Describe how urinary vesicles could be used as a biomarker for podocyte damage and stress
Learning Pathway(s)
- CKD Non-Dialysis
- Kidney Biology and Physiology
