International Society for Hemodialysis

The Annual Dialysis Conference has been endorsed by the following organizations:

National Renal Administrative Association

American Societyof Nephrology

Course DescriptionThe Annual Dialysis Conference: the Thirty-third Annual

Conference on Peritoneal Dialysis, Nineteenth International Symposium on Hemodialysis and Twenty-fourth Annual Symposium on Pediatric Dialysis are presented by the University of Missouri School of Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Nephrology; Continuing Medical Education; the University of Missouri Sinclair School of Nursing; and the Academy for Postgraduate Health Care Education.

This conference convenes an international group of practitioners and researchers to discuss current developments in the field of dialysis. The conference is designed for health professionals involved in established dialysis programs, as well as those working in new and developing programs. Both researchers and clinicians will find sessions of interest to them. Extensive commercial exhibits give participants a chance to see for themselves what is new in PD and HD products and services.

Conference ObjectivesParticipants will be able to:1. Review appropriate dialysis therapies to meet the medical

and psychosocial needs of CKD patients and their families.

2. Describe current trends and established strategies in the management of the full range of services required by adult and pediatric dialysis patients.

3. Compare and contrast research findings related to improving the quality of care for dialysis patients.

4. Evaluate the latest evidence concerning the prevention and management of complications of CKD and dialysis.

5. Discuss major controversies and new developments in PD, HD, and pediatric dialysis.

6. Review fundamental knowledge of dialysis.

Equal opportunity is and shall be provided to all participants in Extension programs and activities and for all employees and applicants

for employment on the basis of their demonstrated ability and competence without discrimination on the basis of their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age disability or status as a Vietnam-era veteran.

The Fundamentals of Dialysis in Children8:00am-5:40pm

Presented in Cooperation with the American Society of Pediatric Nephrology

The care of children receiving chronic dialysis is a challenging, multidisciplinary enterprise. The Fundamentals of Dialysis in

Children is a day-long course designed to provide a complete review of the major issues involved in the management of pediatric hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients. Taught by a faculty of international experts in pediatric dialysis care, The Fundamentals of Dialysis in Children is the only course of its kind currently available. While the course is presented at the level of the beginning pediatric dialysis physician-in-training, it will be of value to pediatric and adult nephrology fellows, pediatric and adult nephrologists, pediatric and adult dialysis nurses, allied personnel and all others who care for children in dialysis facilities. Travel Grants for Fellows

Fellows are invited to submit 1 to 3 page case summaries describing problem pediatric peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis cases. $500 travel grants will be awarded to Fellows who submit cases chosen for presentation during The Fundamentals of Dialysis in Children course. In addition, all Fellows who submit cases will have registration fees waived for both the Fundamentals course and the main Dialysis Conference that follows.

Cases should be chosen to illustrate and emphasize important aspects of the management of pediatric dialysis patients especially as they differ from adult patients. Case summaries describing unusual or atypical patients may also be submitted if they serve to call attention to an event or circumstance that may be encountered in the care of pediatric dialysis patients. Finally, cases that seem likely to “stump the consultants” will be given additional consideration. Winning Fellows will be invited to present their cases during the “Fellows’ Case Forum” session during the Fundamentals course. Members of the Fundamentals faculty who have not seen the case summaries will serve as the panel of consultants. Cases should be organized so that they lead to one or more management questions that can be posed to the consultants and the audience.

Case summaries should be submitted as an electronic file attached to an e-mail. Please submit to both of the following e-mail addresses: ksands@stanford.eduand (Kimberly Sands) and John.Mahan@nation widechildrens.org (John Mahan, MD).

The deadline for receipt of case summaries is December 7, 2012. Winners will be notified in Mid-December. All who submit case summaries will be promptly notified by electronic mail that their cases have been received. For urgent questions, please email or call Kimberly Sands at (650)723-7903 or ksands@stanford.edu. Please do not send case summaries to the main conference office at the University of Missouri.

Peritoneal Dialysis in North America: Challenges and Opportunities

Presented in Cooperation with the North American Chapter of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis

TThe North American Chapter of the ISPD is dedicated to increasing knowledge and training in peritoneal dialysis, along with

fostering excellence in research. This symposium will highlight basic concepts and the latest research in peritoneal dialysis. The symposium will examine novel clinical trials using patient- reported outcomes (PROs) as surrogates for the more traditional endpoints of mortality and morbidity with an emphasis on peritoneal dialysis in the elderly.

We will also review the latest clinical trials in PD and highlight
