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 Irish Society of Nephrology has started with a big bang. Two hugely impressive talks from Prof Anthony Bleyer and Prof James Gleeson. We are on a roll!

Our series of college visits continued last week, when the RCPI President and senior leadership met with staff at University Hospital Limerick.
On these visits, the college meets Trainees, Members and Fellows to hear their insights. Thank you to all who participated.
📢New analysis of CARES Trial from Dr Ghang is food for thought no matter what side of the debate you’re on.
👉 65% of patients➡️no fall in eGFR
👉 Urate <6mg/dl ➡️36% less likely to have fall in GFR

Kidney disease often progresses without symptoms. Professor Austin Stack @austingstack, with HRB support, is using real-world data in Ireland to spot trends and identify those at risk early. A proactive step in protecting health and shaping future care. bit.ly/4f3ci5a?utm_source=Tw…
