 Since the establishment of the Subcommittee by COMGAN Chairman John Dirks in 1997, the committee has organized several meetings.
David Pugsley (Adelaide, Australia) convened the group and organized the first
meeting in association with the XIVth congress of the ISN in Sydney, Australia. It was a two day meeting held on aboriginal
land at Uluru (Ayer’s Rock) in Central Australia.
The proceedings of the meeting were subsequently published in the journal
NEPHROLOGY. In 1999 a symposium on
kidney disease in indigenous populations was held within the XVth Congress of the
ISN in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In
October 2000, a workshop focusing on the genetics of kidney disease in indigenous
populations and racial and ethnic minority groups was organized within the annual
meeting of the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) in Toronto, Canada.
Following the World Congress of Nephrology (WCN) in San Francisco in 2001,
a two-day satellite meeting was held in Santa Fe, New Mexico on “Renal Disease in
Racial and Ethnic Minorities and Indigenous Populations.”
A similar satellite symposium was held in Ensenada, Mexico in November 2003
following the annual meeting of the ASN in San Diego, California.
