OVERVIEW

The Columbia Renal Biopsy Course 2025 is organized by Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons (VP&S), NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital (NYP), International Society of Nephrology (ISN), NephCure Kidney International (NKI), European Renal Association (ERA) and will be held from Jul 16 - 18, 2025 at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, United States of America.

Description:
The 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 renal disease, including diseases that target the glomerulus, tubules, interstitium, and blood vessels.

The activity will span three days and include lectures covering the following content areas: Nephrotic syndrome, Nephritic syndrome, Genetics, Tubulointerstitial, Vascular Disease, Transplant & Dysproteinemia.

Upon Completion of this activity, 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.
Assess which patients would benefit from repeat biopsies in the management of their glomerular diseases.
