Dear Prof Petras,

I am writing to you to inform you about two related consecutive international kidney stone educational events which will be taking place in Exe Lev Hotel, Ljubljana, Slovenia, from May 8^th to May 10^th 2024, organized by the ERA, Slovenian Society of Nephrology and Menarini International Foundation.

On May 8^th: Kidneys, bones, and stones – managing kidney stones in the presence of CKD-MBD

For programme and registration see: https://www.nephro-slovenia.si/index.php?option=com_rsform&formId=8

On May 9^th and 10^th: 6th Symposium on Nephrolithiasis of the Fondazione Menarini GENETICS OF NEPHROLITHIASIS AND NEPHROLITHIASIS FOR NEPHROLOGISTS: AN INTRODUCTORY COURSE

For programme and registration see: https://www.en.fondazione-menarini.it/Home/Events/6th-Symposium-on-Nephrolithiasis-of-the-Fondazione-Menarini-GENETICS-OF-NEPHROLITHIASIS-AND-NEPHROLITHIASIS-FOR-NEPHROLOGISTS-AN-INTRODUCTORY-COURSE-in-cooperation-with-the-Slovenian-Society-of/863/Presentation

Both events are free of charge, without registration fees. Participants can attend the event on location or virtually.

We believe that both these events represent a fabulous opportunity to enhance one’s knowledge of taking care of patients with kidney stones from a nephrologists perspective and will be of use both to nephrologists who already have experience with kidney stones as well as to our younger colleagues who do not have extensive experience and would like to learn the basics from leading experts in the field.

We are passionate about disseminating knowledge of kidney stones among nephrologists which is why we kindly ask you to disseminate this information to colleagues in your Country / Society.

Best regards,

Andrej Škoberne, MD, PhD, FERA

President of the Slovenian Society of Nephrology
