KDIGO at 2022 ERA and ATC Congresses
|
|
KDIGO is back to in-person conferences with a presence at both the European Renal Association’s (ERA) 59th Annual Congress in Paris, and the 2022 American Transplant Congress (ATC) in Boston. Both congresses offered a welcome chance to reconnect with colleagues and friends and discuss future opportunities.
In addition to a lively booth at ERA, KDIGO formally strengthened its relationship with ERA by signing a Memorandum of Understanding, covering future collaboration and partnerships between ERA and KDIGO. “We are delighted to more formally partner with ERA,” said John Davis, KDIGO Chief Executive Officer. “We’re eager and excited for the collaborative opportunities to come.”

A reception during ATC 2022 provided KDIGO with a chance to acknowledge the efforts of attendees of the KDIGO Controversies Conference, Challenges in Management of the Kidney Allograft: From Decline to Failure, co-chaired by Dr. Michelle Josephson (United States), and Dr. Martin Zeier (Germany). It was an especially welcome opportunity to reconnect in person after the March 2022 conference was forced to go fully virtual as a result of the pandemic. KDIGO thanks Dr. Krista Lentine, Allograft Conference Steering Committee member, for coordinating and capturing moments from the reception.
The reception preceded an ATC session moderated by Dr. Josephson, What’s the Optimal Individualized Approach to Managing a Patient with a Declining or Failed Kidney Allograft? The session included key findings and highlights from the Allograft Controversies Conference. For more information from the Conference, you can now watch the plenary presentations (highlighted below).
KDIGO looks forward to more opportunities in the future to reconnect with and acknowledge the work of those we did not get to see in person during the pandemic.
