Description & Objectives:

EKITA & ITN Nephrology Course is designed as an intensive update in contemporary transplant nephrology, bringing together leading experts in immunology, rejection, infection, living donation and long-term recipient follow-up. Delivered for the first time, the programme runs in parallel with the surgical track while preserving dedicated nephrology-focused content and selected common plenary sessions. The course aims to provide a compact, high-yield academic environment where delegates can review current evidence, practical consensus documents and emerging clinical strategies relevant to daily transplant practice.

Objectives
• To update participants on core and emerging topics in transplant immunology and nephrology.
• To review current approaches to rejection phenotyping, Banff classification and molecular diagnosis.
• To discuss donor evaluation, living donor follow-up and the nephrology interface of transplant ethics.
• To strengthen evidence-based post-transplant follow-up in infection, metabolic complications and malignancy.
• To explore strategies for expanding the donor pool without compromising recipient outcomes.

Learning Outcomes
• Interpret key immunologic concepts relevant to pre-transplant evaluation and post-transplant monitoring.
• Discuss current frameworks for rejection diagnosis, including Banff and molecular tools.
• Apply updated approaches to transplant infection, living donor care and long-term graft follow-up.
• Review consensus-based management of DSA follow-up, biopsies, diabetes and malignancy after transplantation.
• Assess expanded-criteria and suboptimal kidney use from a nephrology and outcome-oriented perspective
