SARS-CoV-2 affects renal function, and some patients have been known to develop acute kidney injury (AKI). Kidney patients are also at greater risk from coronavirus.  On June 5 at 3.30 pm CEST, experts will convene in a special online Zoom session of the ERA-EDTA (European Renal Association and European Dialysis and Transplant Association). to discuss the relationship between coronavirus and kidney function. 

The Congress of the ERA-EDTA is Europe´s biggest congress on nephrology and renal replacement therapy. More than 8,000 participants sharing their knowledge and discussing the latest research findings are expected. This year, the Congress will continue as planned from June 6-9, 2020, but in a fully virtual form.

A day before the Congress, on June 5, at 3.30 pm CEST, we extend a cordial invitation to a ZOOM Press Conference on Corona and the Kidneys. Various international experts will report on their experience during the corona crisis and will discuss the latest research findings.
