The 6th Glomerulonephritis Conference will focus on cutting-edge developments across glomerular diseases, including advances in nephropathology, podocytopathies, and autoimmune conditions like lupus nephritis and ANCA-associated vasculitis. Key discussions will cover GN in complex settings such as oncology and kidney transplantation, as well as the impact of immunotherapy on kidney function. The program will also highlight progress in the diagnosis and treatment of membranous nephropathy and IgA nephropathy, complemented by interactive clinical case sessions.
