The overall theme for the meeting this year is “Translating Basic and Clinical Science into Advances in Prevention and Treatment of Kidney Disease.” Although the program will broadly cover all major areas of basic, translational, and clinical sciences relevant to nephrology, four featured topics will be especially highlighted: Renal Immunology and Transplantation, Cardiovascular Disease and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), Stem Cells and Kidney Development, and Epithelial Transport and Cell Biology.

ASN was originally formed to organize an annual meeting to facilitate the dissemination of new advances in the science of nephrology. The portfolio of educational activities has since greatly expanded to meet the needs of both practicing nephrologists and renal scientists. The annual scientific meeting that has grown into Renal Week includes not only presentations of original research such as free communications and posters, but also a wide array of symposia, conferences, and courses on a full range of topics from basic science to clinical practice and public policy.
