What happens when leading nephrology minds from across the Middle East and Africa unite under one roof? Progress accelerates.

Held from 10-13 Feb.2026 in Cairo, the ESNT Conference delivered a high-caliber scientific platform that brought together kidney professors, consultants, and young nephrologists for evidence-based discussions, clinical updates, and regional collaboration. With a total of 1,117 attendees participating physically and virtually, and 40 international experts contributing to the program, the congress reinforced its position as a leading nephrology conference in the MEA region.

Scientific Excellence with International Endorsement

 Endorsed by ERA-EDITA, the conference agenda reflected global standards while addressing regional realities in nephrology practice. The scientific program covered a broad spectrum of kidney disease management topics, including:

• Chronic Kidney Disease updates
• Dialysis innovations and optimization strategies
• Glomerular diseases and immune mediated nephropathies
• Transplantation advancements
• Cardio-renal interactions
• Emerging therapies and clinical trial insights

Interactive panel discussions, case based learning, and expert debates created a dynamic learning environment tailored to practicing nephrologists and academic leaders. The hybrid format further expanded accessibility, allowing participation from across the MEA region and beyond.

A Message from the Leadership
