Seminars

The CGTS is organizing a workshop on glomerulonephritis and related subjects once a year. This workshop takes place in Tübingen. Data obtained from basic research work as well as latest news from our own and others clinical trials are presented to the public and discussed. One of the strengths of this workshop is its effort to combine basic science with clinical application. Although a final and generally accepted statement is rarely achieved by its participants the presented opinions outline the status quo of our knowledge in the therapy of glomerulonephritis. The reports were regularily published in the German journal "Nieren- und Hochdruckkrankheiten". (Dustri-Verlag Dr. Karl Feistle, München-Deisenhofen, Germany). Reprints can be ordered from the authors or the publisher directly. For abstracts see section below.
