About Indian Society of Renal & Transplantation Pathology (ISRTP)

 Indian Society of Renal and Transplantation Pathology (ISRTP) was formed during the “International CME on Renal Pathology” held  from 14th – 16th March 2005 at Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS), Lucknow India.
 

The main objective of the society is to promote research, education and training in renal & transplantation pathology and allied subjects and also to collaborate and cooperate with other organizations of  similar interest, inside and outside the country, for delivery of  improved health care for patients suffering from diseases of native kidneys and renal allografts. 

Renal pathology today stands at an exciting crossroads. Rapid developments in digital pathology, molecular diagnostics, and artificial intelligence are reshaping the way we perceive and practice kidney pathology. ISRTP aims to be at the forefront of these transformations by promoting education, collaborative research, and the adoption of innovative diagnostic tools in our laboratories and training programs.

Our ongoing initiatives are designed to strengthen the bridge between laboratory and clinical practice. 

Through national conferences, workshops, webinars, and collaborative research projects, we continue to facilitate knowledge sharing and mentorship for the next generation of renal pathologists. ISRTP also remains committed to forging partnerships with nephrology and transplant teams to foster interdisciplinary dialogue, ensuring holistic patient care.

As we move forward, our focus will remain on capacity building, standardization of diagnostic practices, and the integration of new technologies into routine pathology workflows. The collective engagement of our members is our greatest strength, and it is through this shared commitment that we will continue to elevate our specialty, both nationally and globally.

It is a privilege to serve as the President of the Indian Society of Renal and Transplantation Pathology (ISRTP), a community that continues to uphold excellence in kidney pathology and transplantation sciences. Over the years, our society has grown into a vibrant network of renal pathologists, clinicians, researchers, and allied professionals dedicated to advancing scientific understanding, improving diagnostic accuracy, and ultimately enhancing patient outcomes in renal disease and transplantation.

I invite all members and colleagues to actively participate in the society’s activities and contribute to its continued growth. Together, we can strengthen renal and transplant pathology in India and inspire future innovations that will benefit patients across the country.

Warm regards,
