The Vicenza International Courses are well renewed scientific events held in the city of Andrea Palladio. Starting in 1982, international Vicenza courses have been held on peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis and critical care nephrology every year featuring an outstanding faculty and gathering participants from numerous countries. The 2008 edition of the course with deal with hemodialysis leading to the most comprehensive review in the field. As in the previous edition the course is organized in collaboration with the International Society of Nephrology and COMGAN. This edition will also be done in conjunction with the International Society of Hemodialysis. The course on hemodialysis is made in strict collaboration with the industry of the field. A series of lectures and panel discussions will be held during the days of the course. Several of the most actual and interesting issues in the field will be debated by world leading experts. The growing interest for training courses and the need for conveying the maximal amount of resources into the educational task of the event convinced us to publish the proceedings of the course but at the same time to minimize the social program and the scientific exhibition. We hope that a large number of delegates will join this important event transforming it into a classic appointment for the experts and physicians wishing to receive an updated information in Hemodialysis.
