Presentation Abstract: 

 

Inflammation and repair in kidney disease is affected by both the cognate and innate immune system. Important mechanisms of repair involving Treg protection against innate kidney injury, the role of differing macrophage and DC subsets in models of nephritis and finally the presence of kidney impairment in children with cardiac issues will be discussed.
