Join top specialists to explore the latest advances in managing the complex systemic aspects of rheumatic diseases. This essential event covers diagnostic and treatment challenges, with expert updates in nephrology, dermatology, endocrinology, neurology, and cardiology.

  • Understand the management of the patient on dialysis or with a kidney transplant

  • Learn about the glucocorticoid axis and relevance in rheumatic diseases
