Pediatric Glomerulonephritis: Lessons from Lupus Nephritis | Dr. Rachana Srivastava

Pediatric Glomerulonephritis: Lessons from Lupus Nephritis How does glomerulonephritis present and behave in children—and what can pediatric lupus nephritis teach us about its diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management? In this session from the Inaugural UCLA Glomerulonephritis (GN) Symposium 2026, Dr. Rachana Srivastava explores pediatric glomerular disease through the lens of lupus nephritis, highlighting important considerations unique to children and adolescents. The presentation examines the challenges of recognizing and managing glomerulonephritis in younger patients, while drawing lessons from pediatric lupus nephritis to illustrate how disease manifestations, treatment considerations, monitoring, and long-term outcomes may differ across the age spectrum. By bringing a pediatric perspective to the broader discussion of glomerular disease, this session emphasizes the importance of age-specific considerations and thoughtful, individualized care for children and adolescents living with GN. This lecture is designed for pediatric and adult nephrologists, rheumatologists, nephropathologists, pediatricians, trainees, researchers, and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of children with kidney and glomerular disease. 🎓 Speaker: Dr. Rachana Srivastava 🏛️ Event: Inaugural UCLA Glomerulonephritis (GN) Symposium 2026 👧 Focus: Pediatric Glomerular Disease & Lupus Nephritis Watch the full UCLA GN Symposium 2026 series for multidisciplinary perspectives on glomerular disease across pathology, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and long-term patient care. #PediatricNephrology #Glomerulonephritis #LupusNephritis #Nephrology #PediatricKidneyDisease #Lupus #KidneyDisease #MedicalEducation #UCLA
