The fast growing prevalence of obesity, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes is an important challenge in nephrology. These entities are deeply interrelated. In fact, obesity and metabolic syndrome frequently precede diabetes. Also, overweight, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, pre-diabetes and diabetes are risk factors for renal disease. All these topics will be discussed in the new meeting of DIABESITY, official Working Group of the ERA-EDTA.

The Symposium is preceding the SEID (Vienna, Austria) on October 25, 2019. This half-day symposium is designed to be a fully educational experience with some ‘industry focus’: key European speakers will contribute in the sessions providing updates on recent studies related to the treatment of anaemia, hyperkalaemia and diabetes in CKD.

Changes in clinical indicators related to the transition from dialysis to kidney transplantation—data from the ERA–EDTA Registry
Patients with end-stage kidney disease need renal replacement therapy (RRT) to maintain the balance of fluid and metabolic components in the body. Although kidney transplantation provides better patient survival and quality of life, most patients need to start RRT on dialysis treatment because of the lack of available kidney donors.
