The PKD Foundation is sponsoring a full-day medical education session on ADPKD at this year’s ASN Renal Week from Nov. 16 - 21 in Denver, Colorado. This is the first time that a course on ADPKD has been offered to nephrologists that discusses not only the disease process but disease management and promising therapies.
The session, titled Polycystic Kidney Disease: Translating Mechanisms into Therapy will take place on Nov. 17. It is co-chaired by John J. Bissler, MD and Benjamin D. Cowley, MD, who is the Chair of the PKD Foundation’s Scientific Advisory Committee.
This course focuses on genes and proteins, basic mechanisms of PDK, imaging, complications and PKD clinical trials. It is designed to provide a comprehensive review of PKD mutations, pathophysiologic mechanisms of PKD, renal and extrarenal manifestations of PKD, clinical trials and emerging therapies in PKD, and appropriate management of patients with PKD.
