Program at a Glance

Translating basic research into a clinical reality with the view of combating human disease is a pressing concern shared by all and can only be achieved through interaction and the exchange of knowledge. The 2007 World Congress of Nephrology provides the forum, the delegates, the insight: the 2007 World Congress of Nephrology represents an unparalleled opportunity to share and debate the very latest advances in research, prevention, and treatment of renal and related diseases.
