The main challenges in the management of patients with chronic kidney disease
This scientific meeting will bring together Belgian and international experts to address the current and future challenges in the management of patients with chronic kidney disease, from innovative dialysis strategies to recent advances in kidney transplantation. Topics will include incremental and home dialysis, care of diabetic patients, vaccination, precision medicine, genetic assessment of living donors, and optimization of transplant outcomes.
Through a multidisciplinary approach grounded in the latest scientific evidence, the colloquium aims to foster exchanges between healthcare professionals and highlight the expertise of teams involved across the nephrology care continuum.
The event is intended for physicians, nurses, transplant coordinators, and all healthcare professionals involved in nephrology, dialysis, and transplantation.
Accreditation has been requested in ethics and health economics.
