The American Society of Diagnostic and Interventional Nephrology was founded in 2000 to promote the proper application of new and existing procedures in the practice of nephrology with the goal of improving the care of nephrology patients.

These procedures include, but are not limited to insertion of tunneled hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis catheters, endovascular procedures, and diagnostic sonography. Activities of the Society include the establishment of practice standards, certification of physicians in specific procedures, accreditation of training programs in specific procedures, development of training tools and techniques, sponsoring symposia and training courses, and the dissemination of information through periodic meetings and through print and other media. The Society organized its first program in New Orleans and holds programs in conjunction with the ASN annual meetings.

The Society is working closely with other societies and with nephrology training programs to achieve its goals. All physicians (nephrologists and others) and nurses involved with the care of nephrology patients are invited to join and become active in the Society.

ASDIN Rolls Out New List-serve for Members Only!  
ASDIN is pleased to introduce an exciting new feature: email based discussion forum (list-serve). This feature is exclusively available to ASDIN members at no extra cost and we hope you will find this interactive feature useful.    This email based discussion group will serve as a convenient, user-friendly and dynamic way to share and discuss unique/difficult clinical cases, exchange ideas, and is also a powerful educational tool and a great networking vehicle. Originally started as loose email exchanges among a small group of individuals few years ago, the email group has gradually expanded to include a broad group of individuals with interest in dialysis access ranging from dialysis nurses, interventional radiologists, vascular biologists and surgeons and interventional/non-interventional nephrologists. It has quickly become very popular because of the spontaneous and stimulating nature of practical discussions with valuable input from an interdisciplinary group of experts. It has and will serve as a springboard for changes and improvements in interventional practice for some and as a catalyst for basic/clinical research ideas and collaboration for others.
