The 10th ReNi-Forum of the Deutsche Gesellschaft Rehabilitationssport für chronisch Nierenkranke e.V. A milestone in patient support
The 10th ReNi-Forum took place from 23 to 25 June 2023 in the m&i-Fachklinik Bad Heilbrunn. The event of the Deutsche Gesellschaft Rehabilitationssport für chronisch Nierenkranke e.V. marks a significant milestone in the work of this organisation. The forum provides a platform to exchange knowledge, experience and new developments in the field of rehabilitation sports for people with CKD conditions.
A place for networking and knowledge exchange
The 10th ReNi Forum brought together a wide range of experts, medical staff, rehabilitation sports participants and other interested parties. It provided an opportunity to share the latest findings, best practices and experiences in healthcare. For more than 10 years, ReNi has been promoting networking and interdisciplinary dialogue to continuously improve the quality of care and support for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.

Varied programme
The forum offered an extensive programme that included lectures, workshops and many exciting discussions. Experts from different fields shared their knowledge and experience on topics such as rehabilitation sports programmes, physical activity, nutrition, psychosocial support and the latest medical developments in kidney health. Participants had the opportunity to ask questions, learn about new approaches and expand their network.

Structured exercise during dialysis reduces the hospitalisation rate by half and exercise has been shown to make dialysis patients fitter.
Presentation of success stories
Other highlights of the ReNi-Forum included the success stories of people who have taken part in rehabilitation sports. Those affected showed how rehabilitation sports have helped them to improve their quality of life and to cope with their illness. These stories are inspiring and encourage others to look at rehabilitation sports as a way to overcome their own challenges. At the same time, it became clear that transplant patients and people with CKD conditions in Germany do not embrace the power of sport and exercise as much as the rest of the world. Instead, they are encouraged to rest rather than be active. A situation that needs to change.
