ASN kidney news Sept 2026: From Prediction to Precision: Can We Reliably Quantify Bleeding Risk Before Kidney Biopsy?

Irish Nephrology Society continues with excellent macro overviews of renal services for Ireland. First Colm Henry @CcoHse covers the opportunities the new Human Tissue Act 2024 brings huge opportunities but making this operational in the general challenges of an always under pressure HSE is the crux. Then Joe Eustace, incoming Lead for National Renal Office, shows the inexorable rise in demand & cost for hospital based Haemodialysis. Both emphasize that change is needed with more preventive strategies upstream & more transplantation downstream.

“The future of health is digital. But to make this vision a reality, we need both resources and collaboration,”
No single organization can do it alone. We call on governments, partners, and donors to come together, invest strategically, and ensure that these life-saving innovations reach those who need them most.”
