This Medudy course is a video tutorial for physicians on the topic of “Glomerulonephritis: Prevalence, Classification, and Treatment.”
In this video, part of a series focusing on C3 glomerulopathy (C3G), Prof. Dr. Jürgen Floege, a nephrologist and senior professor at the Department of Nephrology and Hypertension at Aachen University Hospital, provides a general overview of glomerulonephritis.
He explores the different types of inflammatory glomerular diseases, their prevalence, and current developments in the field. A key point here is the high risk of kidney failure and its consequences. The text then describes the evolution of classification—from histology to pathogenesis—before discussing the development of treatment strategies, ranging from nonspecific immunosuppression to targeted approaches. Finally, the focus shifts to risk assessment and risk scores.
Note: All “speakers” appearing in the Medudy videos are AI-based avatars used to enhance the educational value of the videos. The individuals on whom the avatars are based have explicitly consented to their use.
The content of the video was created and reviewed by the editorial team with the help of AI, based on high-quality scientific sources, and approved by the speakers.
This course was created with the kind support of Sobi.
