Since its foundation in 1960, the
International Society of
Nephrology (ISN) has pursued the
worldwide advancement of
education, science and patient
care in nephrology.

The Society represents a wide
international network and provides
an efficient platform for timely
scientific exchange, debate and
dissemination between healthcare
professionals around the world. It
is also dedicated to addressing
the disparity between the
developing and developed worlds in
the research, diagnosis,
treatment, and prevention of
kidney disease.

The ISN has 10,000 professional
members from more than 126
countries. In addition, it closely
collaborates with over 70 national
and regional nephrology societies
worldwide, representing about
20,000 professionals.

The ISN continues to develop and
consolidate several programs,
initiatives and partnerships that
will help to further deliver on its
two overarching goals: reducing the
incidence and impact of kidney
disease worldwide, and making the
society a leading international
organization for all issues related
to the science and practice of
nephrology.
