Her case report focused on a rare kidney disorder, C1q nephropathy, which typically appears in childhood or early adulthood but can sometimes manifest during pregnancy. The presentation described a 41-year-old patient who developed edema, high blood pressure, and proteinuria in the second trimester, later complicated by fetal growth restriction and intrauterine fetal demise.
The case underscores the importance of early recognition and management of unusual renal diseases during pregnancy to reduce maternal and fetal complications.
“ASN 2025 marked my first international conference, where I had the opportunity to present my poster on C1q nephropathy in a pregnant woman,” Dr. Khubchandani said. “The event was buzzing with innovation, energy, and collaboration — truly inspiring to see how far nephrology has progressed. With so many ongoing studies and groundbreaking trials, I’m hopeful for a future where kidney diseases become not just manageable, but curable.”
Kidney Week, hosted by the American Society of Nephrology, is one of the largest gatherings of kidney professionals in the world, bringing together experts and trainees to share the latest research and clinical advances.
