NKF Serving Northern California

Join physician peers for discussion and debate. The Nephrology Journal Club provides nephrologists with updates, knowledge and problem-solving strategies around difficult cases and disease states in CKD so that they may better treat patients.

Upcoming Dates:

Join us for the 53rd Annual NKF Medical Symposium: a well-established and valued tradition in the Bay Area nephrology community.

This year’s symposium will be virtual: a day-long CME certified program providing up-to-date scientific information on prevention, diagnosis and treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD), in order to improve the care of people with CKD. Featuring presentations by experts in the field, the Medical Symposium is a unique opportunity for nephrology professionals to come together to hear nationally respected speakers present on controversial, thought-provoking topics and current research findings.

Save the Date: Friday October 15, 2021

Thank you to our Gold and Silver 2020 Symposium Expo Sponsors

We invite you to walk your way in the 2021 Northern California Kidney Walk!

This year, we are breaking down all of the geographic boundaries of the past. Together we will celebrate the 2021 Kidney Walk by uniting San Francisco, East Bay, and Silicon Valley into the Northern California Kidney Walk.

The combined region will virtually bring together walkers from all of Northern California, Fresno in the south, to the Sacramento Capital Region, and all the Bay Area communities from Gilroy to Sonoma. Together we will be united in our goal to improve the lives of kidney patients and those at risk everywhere.
