Stem Cells and Regeneration in the Kidneys

In recent years the nephrology community has been joined by other medical colleagues in recognizing the need for communicating to the public about Acute Kidney Injury in a similar way that heart-attack or stroke campaigns have done. By focusing on AKI, the ISN and the IFKF together as the World Kidney Day Steering Committee hope to raise awareness of AKI and stimulate discussion, education and policy development leading to improved prevention and treatment of this major kidney disease across the globe.
The ISN Global Outreach (GO) Programs offer a broad range of educational and training activities to the developing nephrology community. Many of these take place onsite and respond to local needs.

In 2010, ISN celebrated its 50th Anniversary, showcasing 50 years of achievements. Through the decades, ISN’s goal has evolved from a simple informative Society to an organization that sets out to communicate renal-care knowledge and resources worldwide.
The ISN World Congress of Nephrology continues to promote the themes of sustainability and diversity which are increasingly relevant to all countries across the developed and developing world. The commitment of the International Society of Nephrology to the global advancement of nephrology is recognized in the development of the scientific program of WCN 2013. Each theme has a co-chair specifically tasked with ensuring the content of the program includes topics addressing practical, social and economic challenges across diverse nations.

Since its foundation in 1960, the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) has pursued the worldwide advancement of education, science and patient care in nephrology. The Society represents a wide international network and provides an efficient platform for timely scientific exchange, debate and dissemination between healthcare professionals around the world. It is also dedicated to addressing the disparity between the developing and developed worlds in the research, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of kidney disease. The ISN has 10,000 professional members from more than 126 countries. In addition, it closely collaborates with over 70 national and regional nephrology societies worldwide, representing about 20,000 professionals. The ISN continues to develop and consolidate several programs, initiatives and partnerships that will help to further deliver on its two overarching goals: reducing the incidence and impact of kidney disease worldwide, and making the society a leading international organization for all issues related to the science and practice of nephrology. |
