An ISN co-organized symposium in New York City in June gathered thought leaders from around the world to discuss the role and use of albuminuria in renal disease testing and intervention. The symposium, supported by The American Diabetes Association, American Society of Hypertension, American Society of Nephrology, European Society of Hypertension, International Diabetes Federation, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and the American Heart Association, facilitated discussions between organizations and some of the world's most prominent experts.

Several presentations discussed measuring albumin, and addressed the need for a global standard in accurate detection and measurement. |
