49th Annual Columbia Renal Biopsy Course
ISN Endorsed Events
Hosted by Columbia University, the Columbia Renal Biopsy Course is designed to assist nephrologists and renal pathologists (including nephrology and renal pathology trainees) in diagnosing and managing the most common forms of medical kidney disease, including diseases that target the glomerulus, tubules, interstitium, and blood vessels. The course will span three days and include lectures covering the following content areas: nephrotic syndrome, genetics, tubulointerstitial, vascular disease, transplant and dysproteinemia. At the conclusion of the course, participants will be better able to Identify the role of complement in the pathophysiology of glomerular diseases and how novel complement-targeting therapies can fit into treatment patterns; enhance diagnostic suspicion for a genetically mediated form of glomerular disease and facilitate rapid referral for genetic testing; and assess which patients would benefit from repeat biopsies in the management of their glomerular diseases.
