Immune Complex-Mediated Glomerulonephritis in Dogs

Speaker: Mary Nabity, DVM, PhD
Date/Time: Tuesday, March 25, 2025 at 7:00 pm ET

Chronic kidney disease is a significant cause of illness and death in dogs and is often caused by glomerular diseases. A specific category of glomerular disease called immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis (ICGN) accounts for approximately 50% of dogs that have a kidney biopsy due to suspicion of glomerular disease.

Currently, ICGN can only be diagnosed with evaluation of a kidney biopsy, as there are no available biomarkers that can accurately identify this category of glomerular disease. Ongoing research is exploring potential biomarkers that could allow veterinarians to non-invasively diagnose ICGN. This would allow for more confidence in the appropriate treatment of dogs with this type of kidney disease, particularly in patients that are not good candidates for a kidney biopsy.

In this webinar, we will review the various diagnostic categories of glomerular disease in dogs and learn about potential new tools for differentiating immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis from other forms of kidney disease.
