ISN-IPNA Webinar: Challenging case with Nephrotic syndrome
- 2:30 PM CEST
Nephrotic syndrome is the most common glomerular disorder in children, yet its management can be especially complex when compounded by kidney impairment and limited resources. This webinar offers practical insights into navigating immunosuppressant therapy, biopsy timing, and infection prevention strategies, all through the lens of a real-world case study. Join us to enhance your clinical decision-making and improve outcomes for young patients facing these challenges.
Learning objectives:
-
Recognize the difference between acute and chronic kidney impairment in children with nephrotic syndrome.
-
Evaluate immunosuppressant use in the context of kidney dysfunction and active infections.
-
Apply practical strategies for managing pediatric nephrotic syndrome in low-resource settings.
