Chronic Inflammation in the Kidney. ISN-JSN Joint Session

Session description:
Inflammation and fibrosis mediate progression of kidney disease independently of the original disease. This session will aim to cover a number of very important aspects relating to the inflammatory process in kidney disease. There will be an exploration of the understanding that we currently have regarding the molecular mechanisms involved in inflammation and fibrosis of the kidney along with potential roles of inflammatory biomarkers in kidney disease.

Learning objectives:
An increased understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in inflammation and fibrosis of the kidney.
An increased awareness of roles of inflammatory biomarkers in kidney disease.
An increased understanding of the updated research technology in kidney disease.
