The 8th EFCC Continuous Postgraduate Course in Clinical Chemistry: New trends in classification, diagnosis and management of kidney diseases

The Croatian Society of Medical Biochemists and Slovenian Association for Clinical Chemistry, together with the European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFCC), have organized the eight in a series of postgraduate weekend courses under the auspices of IFCC. The Course entitled “ New Trends in Classification, Diagnosis and Management of Kidney Diseases” promotes continuing postgraduate education of professionals in clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, and ensures the laboratory knowledge harmonization, this time on kidney disease in particular. Renowned experts in different fields try to cover the clinical and laboratory aspects of kidney diseases. The integrated knowledge of the authors and the material prepared by these experts especially for this Course, is intended to provide optimal information to the reader. The contents of Handbook is divided into three chapters according to the Course program. The chapter Basic Concepts covers topics such as Pathophysiology and classification of kidney diseases, Inflammation, cytokines and chemokines in chronic kidney disease, Podocyte injury in glomerular diseases and Kidneys and autoimmune disease. In the chapter Diagnosis procedure in nephrology, Hereditary kidney disorders, Diabetic nephropathy, Drug-induced kidney injury, Dislipidemia at chronic renal failure, GFR - where are we now? and Cardiovascular risk in chronic kidney disease are presented. The last chapter is dedicated to New approach to diagnosis and management, where Laboratory standards in the diagnosis and monitoring of therapy, The urinary proteomics: a tool to discover new and potent biomarkers for kidney damage, Point-of-care creatinine testing in high-risk patients and Recent approaches to therapy: is there real progress? are presented.
