Arab Society of Nephrology and Renal Transplantation (ASNRT)
Founded in 1985, ASNRT is the official scientific society of Arab nephrologists, advancing kidney care across 22 Arab countries through research, education, clinical practice, and patient advocacy. The society publishes the Arab Journal of Nephrology and Transplantation (AJNT), hosts a biannual congress, and operates clinical decision-support tools and patient education resources in both Arabic and English.
What ASNRT Does
ASNRT brings together over 2,000 nephrologists, transplant surgeons, dialysis specialists, and renal nurses from across the Arab world. Through specialized committees and working groups, the society develops clinical practice guidelines, organizes continuing medical education, and supports kidney transplant programs in member countries.
NephroMind — Clinical Decision-Aid Tools
ASNRT offers NephroMind, a free clinical decision-aid platform with 125+ bedside calculators across 16 categories — eGFR estimation, KDIGO CKD staging, AKI assessment, electrolyte and acid-base disorders, dialysis adequacy, transplant immunosuppression, drug dosing in renal impairment, and more. NephroMind also includes a curated 54-drug renal dosing database and 17 specialized nursing calculators.
Transplant Patient Portal
A bilingual (Arabic / English) patient education portal for kidney transplant recipients, built on the Kuwait Center for Nephrology and Kidney Transplantation (KCNKT) Ibn Sina patient handbook. The portal includes 14 clinical chapters, decision-aid tools for Ramadan fasting, drug-food interactions, and red-flag symptom triage.
Membership
ASNRT membership is open to physicians, surgeons, nurses, scientists, and trainees in nephrology and renal transplantation across the Arab world. Members receive AJNT, congress access, and participate in the society's committees and working groups.
