Abstract/OtherAbstract:

The Japanese Society of Nephrology (JSN) sponsored the Asian Forum of CKD Initiative (AFCKDI) 2007 with the support of the International Society of Nephrology-Commission for Global Advancement in Nephrology (ISN-COMGAN), Asian Pacific Society of Nephrology (APSN), the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO) and other national societies of nephrology in the Asian Pacific region on 27-28 May 2007 in Hamamatsu City, Japan. An international organising committee was established by leading experts of the CKD initiative. The main objective of this forum was to clarify the current status and perspectives of CKD and to promote coordination, collaboration and integration of initiatives in the Asian Pacific region. The forum received 56 papers from 16 countries; it began with the symposium "A Challenge to CKD in the world" and was followed by the ISN-COMGAN affiliated workshop "Current status and perspective of CKD in Asia". The second day was dedicated to discussion on the evaluation, surveillance and intervention in CKD in this area. At the end of the forum, we decided on the future plan as follows: (1) The AFCKDI will provide opportunities annually or biannually for every person who promotes CKD initiatives in the Asian Pacific region to join together and build consensus for action; (2) the second forum will be held in Kuala Lumpur on 4 May 2008 at the time of the 11th Asian Pacific Congress of Nephrology (APCN). Zaki Morad, President of the 11th APCN, will host the second forum; (3) the International Organising Committee (IOC) of the 1st AFCKDI will continue its function by adding other experts, including the organisers of the APCN; (4) the AFCKDI is not an organisation by itself, nor does it belong to any society, but is organised by each host national society of nephrology. The IOC will assist the domestic committee for the success of the forum and will assure the continuation of the mission; (5) in order to organise the forum and promote CKD initiatives in the Asia Pacific region, the AFCKDI will look for support by both national and international societies. The AFCKDI will keep an intimate and mutual relation with the ISN, APSN and KDIGO. |
