Nephrology in the 1970’s
Indian Society of Nephrology founded by Prof. K.S. Chugh and Dr. P. Koshy in 1970 was the only Scientific Society which was serving as the platform for the nephrologists to interact,once a year. In a developing super speciality like Nephrology with rapid scientific advances, more intense scientific interactions between the nephrologists were essential for the dissemination of knowledge and progress of patient care. The need for a cosier group was favoured and thus the Andhra Pradesh Society of nephrology was conceptualized 3 years ago by Dr.N.Ammanna and was established with the enthusiastic acceptance of the idea by Prof.T.Raviraju and Prof.V.Sivakumar
