We are honored to participate in the Annual Congress of the Chinese Society of Nephrology 2025 (CCSN2025). President Marcello Tonelli delivered an engaging presentation at the opening ceremony and also gave a speech about "The hidden link between hearing loss and kidney health." Additionally, the Pioneer Award for the North & East Asia region was awarded to the winner - Prof. Fan Fan Hou. Past ISN North and East Asia Regional Board chair Angela Wang highlighted the outstanding contributions to clinical nephrology and basic science that Professor Hou has made, significantly advancing nephrology in China, the North and East Asia region, and beyond. We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to ISN speakers Reiko Inagi and Talerngsak Kanjanabuch for their insightful presentations during the Congress.

🌍 Celebrating 40 Years of the ISN Fellowship Program! 🎉 Since 1985, the ISN Fellowship Program has connected kidney care professionals worldwide and shaped the future of nephrology. "It was a wonderful experience and I learned a lot, professionally and personally. I will never forget seeing a transplant patient carry a full-term pregnancy and give birth to a beautiful, healthy child. That moment ignited my passion for transplant and pregnancy care. Today, I focus on managing female transplant patients during pregnancy, combining my expertise to make a meaningful difference in their lives." Suman Lata, ISN Fellow (2011). 🔗https://lnkd.in/emF3atkw #ISNFellowship40Years
