At the 2015 American Society of Nephrology Kidney Week meeting in San Diego, several dozen researchers and clinicians met informally to discuss the need for creating an “Exercise in CKD Working Group.” Similar groups are already established in Canada, Europe, and Australia, but no analogous group currently exists in the United States. Based on the enthusiastic discussions at this meeting, there appears to be a broad consensus that forming such a group in the United States is long overdue.
