Welcome

On behalf of the organising committee of the South African Congress of Nephrology, it is with great honour and pleasure that I would like to invite you to attend the next congress. This congress will run from 30 August to 2 September 2012 at the CSIR in Pretoria.

The CSIR Convention centre is located next to the N1 highway, with off-ramps leading right to the venue. There is more than ample parking space at the centre, but the Convention centre can also easily be reached by means of the Gautrain, with a Gautrain bus stop at the Centre. The CSIR Convention centre is within walking distance of the Lynnwood Bridge, Glenfair Centre, guest houses and hotels. The CSIR has excellent facilities to host this congress.

The Convention centre is situated in a natural parkland environment, with a rural atmosphere. Outstanding international and national speakers will address the delegates on the latest scientific and clinical research. The following topics will be addressed: Glomerlonephritis, mineral bone disease, Proteinuria, early detection of renal disease, hypertension in renal disease, diabetes, cardiovascular complications, renal replacement therapy, acute kidney injury and anaemia of chronic renal disease.

The most recent research on these topics will be presented with new clinical applications. This congress aims to improve your skills in major topics of nephrology. The social programme will also ensure interaction with old and new friendships. We invite you to a stimulating and exciting congress of Nephrology that will certainly enrich your life.

Yours truly
