• specialties such as hematology, nephrology, surgery, pathology, immunology, and bioethics. Presentations address essential topics related to the evaluation and
• management of plasma cell dyscrasia patients being considered for kidney transplantation, including:
• Updates in MGRS pathology and classification;
• The latest developments in clone-directed therapy and outcomes;
• Assessing depth of response;
• Updates on transplant biology and immunology;
• Complications of renal transplantation in patients with plasma cell disease; and
