Primer in Glomerular Diseases Course

General Course Event Over

The Primer Course in Glomerular Diseases assembles a distinguished panel of renal physicians and nephro-pathologists, consisting of both international and local faculties, who would review the latest evidence in the histopathology, classification and treatment of glomerulonephritides.

Each topic would review clinical and histopathological features of glomerular diseases, and would be of interest to practicing nephrologists, fellows in-training, and general internists. The format includes lectures and the study of cases, with question-and-answer sessions available. The discussion around real clinical cases and insights into the diagnosis and management of these will provide participants with a better understanding of the clinical-pathological correlations of the kidney biopsy and better equip them to manage these conditions.
