0900-1145 ADVANCES IN NEPHROLOGY IN 2020
THEME SPONSOR

At the dawn of 2020, Nephrology fields have made several breakthroughs that include but not limited to the followings: 1) After nearly two decades, a new agent, sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor is proven to prevent loss of kidney function, end-stage kidney disease, hospitalisation for heart failure and cardiovascular death in patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD); 2) New discovery has provided an approved treatment to slow the growth of cysts and to preserve kidney function of the most common inherited kidney disease, Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), 3) Several milestones have been made in management of anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) with emerging efficacy and safety evidence of orally available HIF-1a stabilizers, 4) Technical advances in genome sequencing and association studies have yielded critical insights into the genetic architecture of kidney diseases that improve our understanding of the mechanisms of kidney development, homeostasis and disease states, many of which have clinical implications.

Learning objective(s):

  • To promote understanding and clinical knowledge in the recent advances in the field of nephrology.
  • To outline the current available evidence and gaps in knowledge with the view to promote future research.

GENETIC WORKSHOP 101
Due to the interactive nature of the workshop it is not possible to be recorded.Patients with genetic kidney disease benefit from a multidisciplinary approach to assessment and testing. At this workshop you will be taken through worked clinical cases by a team of clinical geneticists, nephrologists and genetic counsellors who will draw on their clinical experience to demonstrate the power of the team based approach. Participants will be introduced to clinical assessment, testing modalities, genomic interpretation, counselling and cascade testing.

TRANSPLANTATION – TSANZ / ANZSN combined
THEME SPONSOR

Kidney transplantation is considered the treatment of choice for individuals with severe chronic kidney disease due to improved quality of life and survival when compared to individuals receiving dialysis. This half-day session is a combined effort of TSANZ and ANZSN in providing essential updates on relevant topics for non-transplant nephrologists. This session covers relevant topics in kidney transplantation for donor and recipient perspective, from pre-transplant assessment to post-transplant management as well as the paired kidney exchange program. 

Learning objective(s):

  • To promote understanding and clinical knowledge in advances in kidney transplantation for non-transplant physicians.
  • To outline the current available evidence and gaps in knowledge with view to promote future research directions.
