The meeting will continue to focus on topics in nephrology encountered daily by practicing nephrologists. We are excited to have a faculty of UC San Diego nephrologists and nationally recognized experts. Sessions will be dedicated to the management of acute kidney injury, end-stage renal disease, and patients with kidney transplants.

The meeting will consist of half-day sessions beginning Thursday morning and concluding Saturday at noon. There will be several simultaneous workshops on Thursday afternoon providing an opportunity to discuss topics in greater depth in smaller groups. This year we will hold a session featuring research presentations by nephrology fellows training in the Western United States. Meeting attendees are invited to sit in on this concurrent session and get a glimpse into the research of these energetic future nephrologists.

The course has been designed with the practicing nephrologist in mind and should prove valuable in the day to day practices of nephrology. We hope that you will find a mix of important review topics as well as relevant new information to incorporate into your care of patients with acute and chronic kidney disease.
