Educational Symposium
Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome: Getting Less Idiopathic?
October 23, 2026 | 12:45 PM - 01:45 PM
Location: Centennial Ballroom A, Hyatt Regency Denver
Session Description
Rapid advances have deepened our understanding of the pathogenesis of nephrotic syndromes, including the identification of novel autoantibodies directed against podocytes and a clearer picture of the genetic basis of these syndromes in children. With better insight into the underlying biology of minimal change disease and FSGS, there are now opportunities to personalize risk prediction and treatment for these glomerular diseases. This symposium reviews the current state of the art in the pathogenesis of these podocytopathies and emerging treatment approaches.
Doors open around 12:30 p.m. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis to fully paid Annual Meeting participants. When a room reaches capacity, ASN will close the room, and no other participants will be allowed to enter, regardless of how many exit.
Support is provided by an educational grant from Genentech, a member of the Roche Group.
