N2 - PURPOSE OF SYMPOSIUM: From September 6 - 8 2022, the Life/2022 Membrane Symposium was held in Frankfurt, Germany, and transmitted live to a worldwide internet audience. The event was part of the Life/Nephrology Campus initiative, a continuous educational platform for the nephrology community to expand knowledge and share expertise on contemporary topics in chronic kidney disease. We describe recent questions and advances in the field, and we underline challenges in the care of dialysis patients and opportunities for integration of new findings into clinical practice to improve patient outcomes in end stage kidney disease patients.TOPICS: Most patients with kidney failure are on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). The scientific program of the symposium was developed around topics about the role, functional determinants, technical aspects, limitations, and clinical implications of membranes presently in use. International experts with clinical or technical expertise as well as scientific recognition within the nephrology community were asked to prepare their presentations based on their own experiences, perceptions, opinions, and sources of information. The symposium devoted a major portion to discussing novel approaches for improving membranes and treatment quality, including updates on innovative concepts that may could potentially transform the landscape of kidney replacement therapy for chronic kidney disease patients in the future.IMPLICATIONS: The intent was to provide insights into current attention points for healthcare professionals new to the field of MHD, and to test a unique forum for continuing medical education integrating physician and patient experiences to promote changes in clinical practice. Furthermore, the symposium premiered a specifically developed mixed reality holographic 3D model to demonstrate recent dialyzer innovation diminishing protein fouling on membrane surfaces. As a continuous online educational platform for scientific exchange, this Life/2022 event provided online learning opportunities with on-demand content, with all symposium lectures freely available on
