Webinar for Nurses and Midwives: Steroid-Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome

This webinar is part of the Genomics Lunch and Learn series for nurses and midwives, to provide an insight into how genomic testing is used across different areas of healthcare.

Steroid-Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome (SRNS) is one of the most common causes of kidney failure in children and adults with an incidence of 1-2 per 100. Several genes have been found to cause SRNS. Knowing if SRNS is inherited can assist with the ongoing management of patients and their family members.

This session aims to introduce SRNS and will discuss the patient pathway, criteria for genetic testing, as well as the role of the nurse and the genetic team when providing information and care to a patient and their family.

Topics covered:

1. Introduction to Genomics and Nephrotic Syndrome
2. Rationale in the renal care pathway
3. Genomics in nursing and midwifery
4. ‘The One Antidote’ trailer
