The ESPN Neonatal Nephrology Working Group has been founded in 2025 from a collaboration between paediatric nephrologists and neonatologists in Europe. (Preterm) neonates are a special population within paediatrics because of problems with maturation and adaptation to extrauterine life. Knowledge is increasing showing long term renal consequences of early life challenges as well as improving kidney support treatments for this population. Experts in the field are working together to collaborate on research, guideline development, education and increasing awareness.
To guarantee solid nephrology and neonatology input, there is a close collaboration between this WG and the ESPR Special Interest Group for Neonatal Nephrology. Within the ESPN, the working group also seeks collaboration with the other working groups.
If anyone is interested in joining, please email Lieke Hoogenboom or the ESPN secretary.
