In the period from 26th until 29th of September 2019, the 15th BANTAO Congress (Balkan Cities Association of Nephrology, Dialysis, Transplantation and Artificial Organs) in conjunction with the 6th Congress of the Macedonian Society of Nephrology, Dialysis, Transplantation and Artificial Organs (MSNDTAO) was held in Skopje, Republic of North Macedonia, hosted by the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts (MASA). MSNDTAO was created in 1992 and the First Congress of the MSNDTAO was held on 9th October 1993 in Ohrid when, also, the Balkan Association of Nephrology, Dialysis, Transplantation and Artificial Organs (BANTAO) was established, as the only professional association of this kind in the Balkans and Southern Europe. Since then, MSNDTAO has been very active in education and collaboration with BANTAO, the European Renal Association (ERA-EDTA) and the International Society of Nephrology (ISN). The 15th BANTAO and the 6th MSNDTAO Congress were highly professional events in honor of the 80th anniversary of Academician Momir Polenakovic from the Republic of North Macedonia, one of the founders of BANTAO and MSNDTAO, who was unselfishly dedicated to the education and guidance for many generations of young doctors in this region. This year's Congress was endorsed by the ERA-EDTA, and supported by the ISN. On the first day of the Congress, a European Renal Best Practice (ERBP) session was held, in which the Chair of the ERBP Working Group, Prof. Dr. Jonathan Fox gave a comprehensive insight of the purpose and aims of ERBP, the methods used for their achievement, and an overview of the recently produced and guidelines in development. The second day was organized in four sessions: Clinical nephrology and renal registries; CKD Diagnosis, comorbidities and treatment; Kidney transplantation and Acute and chronic renal failure management. On the third congress day, the ISN CME Course with ERA-EDTA endorsement was held. The course was entitled "Possibility of diagnosis and treatment of the CKD progression and complications/Possibility of diagnosis and treatment of the CKD progression - current perspective" and was chaired by Prof. Dr. Caskey Fergus and Prof. Dr. Serhan Tuglular. On the last Congress day, before the official closure and the best wishes from the President of the Congress, Prof. Dr. Goce Spasovski, a session about CKD and the renal replacement therapy complications was held. This event was of an exceptional importance for the region, considering the charred international achievements and the most up-to-date methods used in the Nephrology field, bringing out continuous quality improvement in the treatment of patients with renal diseases.
2019年9月26日至29日期间，第15届班涛大会（巴尔干地区肾脏病、透析、移植及人工器官城市协会）与马其顿肾脏病、透析、移植及人工器官学会（MSNDTAO）第6届大会在北马其顿共和国斯科普里举行，由马其顿科学院和艺术院（MASA）主办。MSNDTAO成立于1992年，其第一届大会于1993年10月9日在奥赫里德举行，当时还成立了巴尔干地区肾脏病、透析、移植及人工器官协会（BANTAO），这是巴尔干地区和南欧唯一的此类专业协会。从那时起，MSNDTAO在教育以及与BANTAO、欧洲肾脏协会（ERA - EDTA）和国际肾脏病学会（ISN）的合作方面一直非常活跃。第15届BANTAO大会和第6届MSNDTAO大会是极具专业性的活动，以纪念来自北马其顿共和国的Momir Polenakovic院士诞辰80周年，他是BANTAO和MSNDTAO的创始人之一，无私地致力于该地区几代年轻医生的教育和指导。今年的大会得到了ERA - EDTA的认可，并得到了ISN的支持。大会第一天举行了欧洲肾脏最佳实践（ERBP）会议，ERBP工作组主席乔纳森·福克斯教授全面深入地介绍了ERBP的目的和目标、实现这些目标所采用的方法，以及近期制定的和正在制定的指南概述。第二天安排了四个会议：临床肾脏病学与肾脏登记；慢性肾脏病的诊断、合并症及治疗；肾脏移植以及急性和慢性肾衰竭的管理。在大会第三天，举办了经ERA - EDTA认可的ISN继续医学教育课程。该课程的题目是“慢性肾脏病进展及并发症的诊断与治疗可能性/慢性肾脏病进展的诊断与治疗可能性——当前视角”，由卡斯凯·弗格斯教授和塞尔汗·图格鲁拉尔教授主持。在大会最后一天，在大会主席戈采·斯帕索夫斯基教授正式闭幕并致以最美好的祝愿之前，举行了一场关于慢性肾脏病及肾脏替代治疗并发症的会议。考虑到肾脏病领域取得的显著国际成就以及所采用的最新方法，此次活动对该地区具有极其重要的意义，推动了肾脏疾病患者治疗质量的持续提升。
