Welcome

Dear Tim, as far as I know this is the first patient treated with CAVH in the world. We performed this treatment in Vicenza in 1984 and the patient survived. After that we published the first series of 4 newborns treated with CAVH (Kidney International 1986). You made a great deal of progress since then and even more with this meeting. Best Wishes Claudio Ronco

What is the purpose of this meeting? To bring together those in the field who deal with any modality of MOSF with RRT who are willing to listen and learn, to talk and to exchange There are no experts in this field!! “If you quit learning then it is time to go home” (actually he said get the hell out before you hurt someone!)
