Welcome to Zagreb - Where Kidney and Metabolic Science Meet

Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends,

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the International Congress of Nephrology and Endocrinology in Zagreb, a meeting created to bring together experts, young physicians, researchers, nurses, and medical students from around the world.

Kidney and endocrine diseases are closely interconnected and represent some of the most important global health challenges of our time — from diabetes and hypertension to metabolic bone disease, chronic kidney disease, and cardiorenal syndromes. This congress was established to provide a shared platform where these disciplines come together to exchange knowledge, inspire collaboration, and shape the future of integrated patient care.

During the congress, participants will explore:

• Cutting-edge clinical research
• Translational advances linking metabolism and kidney function
• Practical, case-based learning
• Innovations in dialysis, transplantation, and endocrine therapies
• Multidisciplinary approaches to chronic disease management

We have designed a scientific program that balances high-level expert sessions with interactive learning opportunities for young doctors, nurses, and students — because the future of medicine depends on education, collaboration, and mentorship.

Beyond the lecture halls, Zagreb offers a unique blend of Central European charm, rich history, and vibrant culture. We hope this congress will be not only a place for learning, but also a setting for meaningful professional connections and lasting friendships.

We look forward to welcoming you to Zagreb.

With kind regards,

Prof. Nikolina Bašić Jukić

Congress President
