Through the IPNA Currents newsletter, we aim to facilitate fulfillment of our organizational mission and goals by enhancing information dissemination among the international membership regarding IPNA activities and initiatives. Currents will provide a new forum for all-inclusive stakeholder participation in the exchange of ideas and innovations within the three main arenas of our collective activities: (1) diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of pediatric kidney disease; (2) clinical-translational research findings and breakthrough discoveries; and (3) patient and provider education and advocacy, and  provider training and career development.
