EKHA
EKHA is an alliance of four societies created in 2007 to focus the attention of the political community and, through the media, of people at large, on the burden of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) considering patients’ morbidity/mortality as well as the socio-economic impact of dialysis and transplantation in Europe: besides the ERA, the European Kidney Patients’ Federation (EKPF, former CEAPIR), the European Dialysis and Transplant Nurses’ Association/European Renal Care Association (EDTNA/ERCA) and Dutch Kidney Foundation (DKF) are EKHA management committee members.
The EKHA management committee, which includes two representatives of ERA nominated by the Council, works closely with the people involved in the European health organization to raise awareness about CKD throughout Europe.

ASN - ERA - ISN Collaboration
On June 1, 2016, three major nephrology societies — the American Society of Nephrology (ASN), the European Renal Association (ERA), and the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) ― signed a declaration of collaboration. The organizations agreed that kidney disease is a global challenge that respects no boundaries or borders. Therefore, all available synergies should be used to fight kidney disease and improve the standard of care for kidney patients worldwide.
To create the best possible synergy, the three societies agreed to collaborate in:
- helping physicians who have just started careers as nephrologists or are considering this possibility, locally, regionally and nationally
- providing kidney professionals worldwide with more consistent, complete and up-to-date information about kidney diseases and treatments
- advocating to ensure access to care and to harmonize efforts to prevent and treat kidney disease worldwide
- creating joint initiatives to leverage the societies’ respective strengths.
