International Perinatal Nephrology Symposium, 20-21 June 2001, Lausanne, Switzerland.
The 5th International Symposium on Prenatal Nephrology returned this year to Lausanne, Switzerland, after being held in the 2 previous years across the border in France (Strasbourg 1999 and Dijon 2000). The main topics presented for discussion to the approximately 80 participants (from 13 countries) dealt this year -- in English and in French -- with several aspects of acute renal failure (ARF) in the newborn. Indeed lively, friendly and interesting discussions again characterized this very constructive meeting held in ideal warm weather beside Lac Léman.
