ARTS 2012 Symposium Topics
Use of Stem Cells In Renal Disease
Mesenchymal stem cell therapy is one of the hot topics of the year, with increasing information on their use for treating kidney disease. In addition to an overview of the biology of stem cells, we will have speakers present information on obtaining stem cells, administering them, and preliminary data on use of stem cells in animals with kidney disease.
Biomarkers for Kidney Disease
The search for the perfect biomarkers of kidney disease is in full swing, and some candidate markers are pulling ahead of the crowd. This half-day special topic will include as-yet unpublished data on biomarkers in experimental and naturally occurring kidney disease.
Critical Care Nephrology
What could be more critical than the patient in ICU with severe acute kidney injury? We have a full day devoted to topics germane to caring for these patients, including a strong focus on new paradigms in fluid management.
Case-based Approach to Dialytic Therapy
In a departure from our previous Core Curriculum of Dialysis lecture series, this year we want to take our participants a step further. We will use cases to illustrate management of special or difficult problems in veterinary dialysis.
Laboratories
As in the past, we will have a day of wet labs at the Animal Medical Center to allow participants to visualize the concepts and to practice some skills. This year, we will have beginner and intermediate level labs, to accommodate our expanding group of attendees. The labs will cover parts of the Core Curriculum in an interactive workshop setting.
