Abstract Submission Closes: June 16, 2006
To present, discuss and debate both the latest basic and clinical findings as well as the current challenges involving bone and kidney, join us this coming Fall in Copenhagen. The International Society of Nephrology’s Bone and the Kidney Nexus Symposium, October 12-15, 2006 represents an exciting opportunity to join research to practice and the ideal forum to ultimately propose new avenues for research at the laboratory level as well as improve diagnosis, patient management and care.
Sessions and Scope
Plenary Lectures
The symposium’s choice of plenary lecture speakers and topics reflects the breadth of cross-disciplinary knowledge on hand
New challenges in calcium and phosphate metabolism Physiology of renal and intestinal divalent ion transport
Keith Hruska, USA
René Bindels, The Netherlands
Novel aspects of genetic diseases of bone and kidney Bone-kidney axis and vascular calcification Stem cells, PTH and bone
Rajesh V Thakker, UK
Catherine M. Shanahan, UK
Paolo Bianco, Italy
The Bone and Kidney’s basic science sessions will be grouped according to there themes: Transporters (structure-function interactions, proteins); Receptors and cellular mechanism of regulation; and Phosphatonins.
The clinical sessions will focus on Genetic diseases of bone and kidney; Osteoporosis and renal osteodystrophy; and the Relationship between bone/mineral metabolism disturbances and cardiovascular disease in CKD and management.
Finally, the special translational sessions will cover: Urinary infection & nephrolithiasis; Molecular aspects of mineral metabolism diseases; and Pediatric renal osteodystrophy: unique challenges in the growing skeleton.
Don’t miss three and a half days of insightful scientific discourse and debated in the picturesque city of Copenhagen. Reserve your place today for The Bone and the Kidney by visiting: www.isn-online.org/nexus/bonekidney
