Join us for this multidisciplinary conference bringing together expert clinicians and researchers from Haematology and Nephrology to discuss and explore the connections between these two specialities. The event aims to foster collaboration, exchange knowledge, provide innovative perspectives, offer practical applications, and advance understanding of the interactions between blood disorders and renal diseases.

By attending the conference, you will:

  • Understand paraproteinemia and be able to explain the physiopathology of dysprotenemias and the renal damage that occurs in the different entities
  • Deep dive into Multiple Myeloma, Amyloidosis and associated Renal Diseases
  • Gain updated knowledge on treatments for Haemato-Renal conditions
  • Learn how to improve the standard of care for real-life challenges in complex patient management
  • Participate in a unique platform for networking, learning, and collaboration among experts in both fields, to improve patients' outcomes

Overall, the summit serves as a forum for interdisciplinary dialogue, collaboration, and knowledge exchange, aiming to advance the understanding, diagnosis, and management of common diseases to benefit patient health and well-being.
