22nd International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory medicine (IFCC) - European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM) European Congress of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine is organized by International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC), European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM) and would be held during Jun 11 - 15, 2017 at Megaron Athens International Conference Centre, Athens, Attica, Greece.

Conference Objectives :
• Define clinical effectiveness in laboratory medicine.
• Explain why it is important in optimizing laboratory medicine services.
• Give examples of how laboratory medicine may increase clinical effectiveness.
• Explain how to undertake a project on clinical effectiveness in laboratory medicine
• Better understand the use and limitations of new and older AKI markers.
• Understand if, beyond GFR estimation, at which extent creatinine and cystatine can be risk factors for cardiovascular risk and mortality.
• Understand the benefits, risks and limitations of eGFR vs.
• creatinine clearance for posological adaptation.
• See the potential of measured GFR in drug adaptation.
