title: Nephrology, dialysis and transplantation in Brazil.
abstract: The European Renal Association welcomes this opportunity and feels that European nephrologists should be informed about the state of nephrology in South America, with which particularly our Latin colleagues maintain close cultural relationships. The following report on Nephrology in Brazil is a welcome addition to a series of reports designed to provide to European nephrologists a global view of nephrology. It is hoped that this is not misconstrued as a violation of nephrological Monroe doctrine.
