Dr. Mireille El Ters has graciously agreed to give a brief presentation at the May VF chapter meeting. She is a nephrologist here at KU and participated in the Kansas City Vasculitis Symposium last summer. She has done her fellowship in nephrology at Mayo Clinic. She has a lot of experience seeing vasculitis patients both from her fellowship and through her support of our efforts to grow a Vasculitis Center her at KU. She will also be the lead investigator for our center for an international trial looking at a new drug (C5a receptor inhibitor) for the treatment of ANCA associated vasculitis.
She will give a review of vasculitis and the kidneys.
