Message from Scientific Committee- Chair

It is our great pleasure to host 6th conference of Nepal Society of Nephrology out of Kathmandu valley for the first time. The theme of this conference is kidney health for all. Though diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease is expanded in almost all provinces of Nepal, kidney disease prevention activities is still limited. Moreover, newly graduated doctors working in different hospitals in and outside valley, are least trained about the recognition of kidney problems and immediate management. So we have organized workshop on dealing with patients with kidney disease to sensitize non-specialized doctors so that the quality of service can be upgraded. Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis nurses are backbone of nephrology care and this conference also aims to update them on nursing care of patients on dialysis.

We have imminent speakers from home and abroad and the topics in conference will be covering chronic kidney disease, diabetic kidney disease, and dialysis and kidney transplantation with high emphasis on preventive nephrology and kidney health for all in Nepal. There will be session on dealing with difficult cases in nephrology and opportunity to share the research in nephrology in Nepal.

We are confident that the scientific program in this conference will be highly beneficial to all delegates in upgrading the academic knowledge and clinical approach during patient management.
