The main topic of this CME meeting is “the basic and clinical research on Chronic Kidney Disease.” In this meeting, the basic research and clinical work about the pathology and pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease will be deeply discussed and reviewed by the international and domestic speakers. The pathogenesis of kidney disease will provide us a better way to diagnose and treat the disease so as to improve its prognosis. Therefore, we choose “the basic and clinical research on chronic kidney disease” to be the theme of this CME meeting. At the meeting, recent advances in pathology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of several types of glomerulonephritis will be discussed. The meeting focuses on both basic and clinical aspects of glomerulonephritis which will benefit the nationwide attendants including nephrologists, renal pathologists, medical students, researchers and others. The meeting will offer all the attendants a good opportunity to widen their knowledge on chronic kidney disease. Please describe the measures you will take to encourage the attendance of younger and/or less advantaged colleagues from your region: (for example: reduced rates, travel grants, etc.) We believe that our nephrologists, physicians and postgraduate students will update their knowledge of kidney disease via this academic exchange. The meeting will offer all the attendants a good opportunity to widen their knowledge on kidney disease. Ten excellent medical students will get the travel grants.
