CRRT 2014

We are busy preparing for the upcoming CRRT 2014, the 19th International Conference - Acute Kidney Injury: Controversies, Challenges and Solutions, Advances in Critical Care and I would like to invite you to join us in San Diego in March of 2014.

The CRRT Conference continues to provide a comprehensive coverage of the rapidly developing field of Critical Care Nephrology and CRRT. It highlights the recent advances in our understanding of pathophysiology of critical illness, acute kidney injury, emerging strategies in the management of sepsis, multiorgan failure, development and use of biomarkers, technical advances in CRRT and the appropriate utilization of these techniques. This year's program presents exciting new developments and evidence for hemodynamic monitoring, fluid management, dialysis timing, and extracorporeal support for critically ill patients. A mix of invited lectures, pro-con debates, interactive workshops, tutorials, poster sessions and panel discussions are planned to continue the tradition of multidisciplinary interactions.

Again this year we are offering a Pre-Conference AKI Symposium sponsored by the UAB/UCSD O'Brien Center titled: “Changing Paradigms in Acute Kidney Injury: From Mechanism to Management”. The workshop will provide a comprehensive review of the most recent developments in the field. Topics include, mechanisms, pathways of AKI and its effects on other organs, biomarkers and their applications and the findings from the recent clinical trials. We hope that this course will provide participants an opportunity to interact with experts in the field and emerge with a better understanding of this rapidly evolving area.
