The Renal pathology Society (RPS) Program Committee considered potential themes of interest to practicing pathologists/nephropathologists that had not been presented in the last five years a the RPS Companion Meetings. After lengthy discussions, the members of the program committee together with the RPS board of directors agreed that this was the best topic for the 2010 meeting. Endothelium plays an important role in various renal diseases and represents a major morphological compartment in the kidney and thus a diagnostic hallmark in numerous renal diseases. In addition, the micro- and macro-circulation of the kidney represents a prototype of the different types of human vasculature. Therefore, we expect this session to be of interest not only to nephropathologists but also to attendees from other pathology subspecialties interested in endothelial pathology. |
