WashU Nephrology is proud to announce that registration is now open for its inaugural Glomerular Diseases Symposium: An Update on Disease Mechanisms and Management, to be held on Saturday, September 9, 2023, at the Eric P. Newman Education Center, 7:30 AM – 5:00 PM.
Glomerular diseases are a well-recognized cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. The in-person, day-long symposium will feature leading glomerular disease experts who will highlight recent advances in disease mechanisms and treatment of various glomerular diseases.
The event is designed for practicing nephrologists and nephrology trainees, but will be of interest to rheumatologists, internal medicine physicians, advanced healthcare practitioners and nephrology nurses. The format consists of lectures, case presentations, panel discussions, and question & answer sessions. CME credit is available.
WashU nephrologist Tingting Li, MD, Professor of Medicine and Director of our Glomerular Diseases Clinic, organized the symposium and is the Course Chair.
“The landscape of glomerular disease has been rapidly changing and this symposium will provide a timely update on recent advances in disease pathogenesis and treatment. The audience will have ample opportunity to interact with experts and discuss challenges in the management of glomerular diseases. It will be a very exciting day!”
Dr. Tingting Li
