The Miami Pediatric Nephrology Seminar is an international gathering of Pediatric and Internal Medicine Nephrologists from all over the United States and the world, sponsored by the University of Miami, Leonard Miller School of Medicine and the Holtz Children’s Hospital. This coming year we will have another exciting scientific program with a variety of topics including a total of 9 Sessions devoted to evolving concepts about developmental nephrology and genetic origins of kidney disease, renal tubular disorders affecting magnesium, phosphate and uric acid handling, biomarkers of tubular injury, cystinosis, hypertension and new developments in vascular biology, approach to evaluation and management of renovascular hypertension in the young child, new developments on bone disease, Vitamin D analogs, FGF-23 and the kidney, on-going challenges in chronic kidney disease, and the effects of systemic diseases, including sickle cell nephropathy, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, and HUS on the kidney.

In addition, there will be 2 separate workshops dealing with diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in Dialysis and Transplantation including 3 Best Abstracts presentations by fellows. There will be one Session on clinico-pathologic correlations. Also, 2 special State of the Art presentations will cover New Mechanisms of Progressive Kidney Disease and Transplantation Update 2012.
