| Info: |
This symposium will look into cutting-edge physiology, pathophysiology and treatments relating to bone and mineral metabolism disorders and cardiovascular disease in CKD patients and will feature:
- Bone-kidney axis and vascular calcification
- Renal and intestinal divalent ion transport
- New understanding of phosphate metabolism
- Regulation of PTH biosynthesis
- The fascinating osteocyte
- Vitamin D & calcimimetics
- Parathyroid function in CKD
- FGF23 and klotho
- Hormones, receptors and transporters
- Renal osteodystrophy
- Vascular effects in CKD-MBD

Dear colleague,
We are pleased to announce that ISN is organizing its second Forefronts Symposium in 2012 covering Tubulointerstitial Disease in Diabetic Nephropathy taking place in Melbourne, Australia from October 4 - 7, 2012.
Diabetic nephropathy is the most common cause of end stage renal disease across almost all countries. In this chronic renal disease, dysfunction and expansion of the cortico-tubulointerstitium of the kidney is the best predictor of progression to end stage renal disease. Therefore a greater understanding of the pathogenesis of these diverse changes is required to best assess relevant targets to prevent, reverse or retard diabetic renal disease.
Topic highlights include:
- Micro RNA and extracellular matrix accumulation
- T regulatory cells in the tubulointerstitial compartment
- ATP production and energy bioenergetics in the proximal tubule
- Renal glucose uptake and gluconeogenesis
- Epithelial/Endothelial Myofibroblast Transdifferentiation
- Post translational modification
- Cell trafficking in the proximal tubule
- Taking things outside the body
- Redox imbalance and post-translational modification
- Renal inflammation
- Lessons learnt from podocytes
Abstracts Open Today!
Get a head start and submit your abstract for this year's Forefronts on Tubulointerstitial Disease in Diabetic Nephropathy.
