A couple of weeks ago, when a mail inviting me to contribute to the ISN blog landed in my inbox, I instinctively hit the delete button. After all, is my life not already too busy? There are grant applications and manuscripts to write and review, PhD theses to pore over, classes to take, presentations and question papers to prepare, patients to see, manage an office, lab meetings to supervise, research consortia to manage, and meetings to go to. And after all, how useful is a blog compared to these very important activities?
Even though the mail was out of my sight but not completely out of my mind. My conscience was jolted further when my son, a master’s student, sent me a link to this story.
The recently concluded World Congress of Nephrology in Cape Town was by all accounts a resounding success. The opening ceremony was fabulous with great interactive entertainment and fantastic inspiring addressees by Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu and Editor of the Lancet Richard Horton.

Hemodialysis is the most popular form of renal replacement therapy the world over. Currently, it is estimated that over 80% of all patients on dialysis are in the developed world, where dialysis is practiced with adherence to quality standards. In the near future the low and middle income countries will see tremendous growth in the number of patients needing renal replacement therapy. This is largely because of changing demographics, increasing life expectancy and economic development. If the population projections hold, and competing causes of death do not interfere, India will have the largest number of dialysis patients in the next 25 years.
