About the ISN Interventional Nephrology Working Group
The purpose of the Interventional Nephrology Working Group is to bring together like-minded interventional nephrologists, trainees and health care professionals in the field of interventional nephrology from around the world, with a particular focus on developing interventional nephrology resources and practices throughout the world.

The ISN and the Interventional Nephrology Working Group share the goal of advancing nephrology in developing countries in general and in LMIC in particular.

Interventional Nephrology Working Group members also take part in discussions to expand and improve the Interventional Nephrology Scholarship Program as needed, and to find other ways to build interventional nephrology capacity in low resource countries and around the world.
