Nephrotic Syndrome Trust(NeST) & The Bristol Research Team were delighted to host virtually 'International Nephrotic Syndrome Research Event on World Kidney Day 2021'
The talks are very informative for both the patients and clinicians. Exciting research discoveries recently and also we should be very encouraged to see great collaboration between researchers, clinicians, patients and pharmaceutical companies helping to find new therapies and treatments for different types of Nephrotic Syndrome.
Special thanks to guest speakers from Australia, South Africa, Sri Lanka & the UK.
