Overview

This is the seventh annual Southern California Kidney Symposium with the theme “New Trends and Innovations in Kidney Replacement Therapies”. Invited faculty from USC and several other North American academic institutions will present in a hybrid format, either in person or virtually through the Whova platform, before an audience of clinical and research faculty and trainees. New clinical and research findings will be presented on topics in several broad areas, including: 1) the latest clinical considerations and trends in dialysis; 2) transitions between dialysis and transplantation; 3) updates on inpatient kidney functional assessment and replacement therapies; and 4) novel CKD therapies and kidney replacement options.

Objectives

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

1. Discuss incremental dialysis and conservative care options for advanced CKD patients.
2. Evaluate and explain the features and relative advantages, disadvantages and indications of various home dialysis modalities for end-stage kidney disease patients
3. Outline important considerations for patients transitioning between dialysis and transplantation and the dialysis modality choice for patients with a failing kidney transplant
4. Discuss important trends in kidney functional assessment and kidney replacement therapies in critically ill patients
5. Identify the uses, indications and limitations of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to kidney transplant induction and rejection
6. Outline novel and emerging chronic kidney disease therapies and kidney replacement options
