The European Renal Association – European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) is Europe's leading organisation for clinicians and scientists in nephrology, dialysis, renal transplantation and related areas.
The organisation publishes two scientific journals, NDT - Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation and CKJ - Clinical Kidney Journal, a newsletter, Follow Us, and an online newsletter, ERA-EDTA Flash. It has an educational website, NDT-Educational, an Educational Online Portal, the European Nephrology Portal (ENP) and holds an annual congress in a different European city each year.
The encouragement of medical education in Europe, and in developing countries throughout the world is one of the key missions of the ERA-EDTA. This is achieved through CME Courses, Compact Primers, Fellowship Programmes and Grants. European Renal Best Practice (ERBP) is the ERA-EDTA advisory board which discusses and defines the future of European nephrology recommendations and guidance. The ERA-EDTA Registry collects and analyses data on renal replacement therapy via the national and regional renal registries in Europe and distributes the resulting information through registry reports presented at ERA-EDTA Annual Congresses, publications in nephrology journals and via the ERA-EDTA website.
The ERA-EDTA has recently launched the new European Nehrology Portal (ENP), an important educational Website with Congress and Courses presentations, Hot Topics and News in Nephrology, and more content.
The ERA-EDTA actively promotes research through its Research Programme, its Fellowship Programme and its Scientific Working Groups:EUropean REnal and CArdiovascular Medicine Working Group (EURECA-m),ERA-EDTA Immunonephrology Working Group,Working Group on Inherited Kidney Disorders (WGIKD),European Dialysis Working Group (EUDIAL),Developing Education Science and Care for Renal Transplantation in European States Working Group (DESCARTES),CKD-MBD Working Group,Diabesity Working Group, and European Renal Nutrition Working Group.
