Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be better able to understand:
• The pathophysiology and clinical aspects of the major parenchymal diseases of the kidney, with emphasis on clinical-pathologic correlations and the role of renal biopsy.
• Pathology, pathophysiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, prognosis, and optimal therapy for many different medical renal diseases, including but not limited to minimal change disease, FSGS, membranous nephropathy, amyloidosis, C3 glomerulopathy, IgA nephropathy, hereditary nephritis, acute post-infectious glomerulonephritis, amyloidosis, light chain deposition disease, myeloma cast nephropathy, cryoglobulinemic
