Course Overview
Glomerular disease is associated with morbidity and mortality in patients of all ages and is a common cause of end stage kidney disease. These include those that commonly present with nephrotic syndrome (minimal change disease, FSGS and membranous nephropathy), the nephritic syndrome (vasculitis, lupus nephritis and IgA nephropathy), among others. Treatment often utilizes immunosuppressive regimens such as high dose corticosteroids, alkylating agents, calcineurin inhibitors, biologics and antimetabolites, which can be associated with significant side effects and morbidity. Thus, glomerular diseases present a difficult and unique challenge to both patients and nephrologists and are associated with high treatment costs and historically, have had poor renal outcomes. There have been significant recent advances in the field in both the diagnosis and treatment of glomerular diseases as well as in targeted therapies. Therefore, it is important for physicians to stay current with these new approaches to managing glomerular diseases.

Target Audience
Specialties - INTERNAL MEDICINE - Nephrology

  3. Discuss therapeutic options, and the integration of recently approved therapeutics when treating lupus nephritis.
  4. Identify potential mechanisms responsible for disease progression in IgA Nephropathy and the role of the newly approved therapies in the management
