ASN Renal Physiology – Structure and Function in Kidney Health and Disease 2022 (On-Demand and Livestream)

Course Objective(s)

Upon completion of the program, the participant will be able to:

•  explain the complex course that results in normal nephron and kidney development or congenital abnormalities of the kidneys and urinary tract
• outline the components of the nephron and how they work in concert to form urine
• discuss the varied roles of the kidney in homeostasis and how alterations can result in a range of disorders related to volume, electrolytes, or proteinuria
• identify new research questions to build on current understanding of kidney physiology
