Dr Niamh O’Regan, Consultant Geriatrician @UHW_Waterford and Shanice Vallely, Senior Physiotherapist @MaterPhysio and HSCP Lead for the IHFD present now about the IHFD Orthogeriatric and Physiotherapy Networks. The networks bring together a community of specialties. The Orthogeriatric Network has over 80 members who are looking forward to what is possible, such as developing guidance and protocols and discussing the future of Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment related standards. The Physiotherapy Network looks at things like the role of the physio, service provision and IHFD functional data fields. The IHFD has been reporting on early mobilisation since 2018, with Irish Hip Fracture Standard 7, which looks at early mobilisation, introduced in 2022. #HIPFEST2024

KDIGO is pleased to announce the publication of the 2024 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Lupus Nephritis, published today in the January 2024 issue of Supplement to Kidney International, with an Executive Summary published in the main pages of the journal. Read the news release: kdigo.co/2024-Lupus-Nephriti… Read the guideline in Kidney International: kdigo.co/2024-Lupus-Nephriti… Download the guideline: kdigo.co/2024-Lupus-Nephriti… Developed under the stewardship of Co-Chairs Brad Rovin, MD (US) and Jürgen Floege, MD (DE), this guideline is an update of the Lupus Nephritis (LN) chapter of the KDIGO 2021 Glomerular Diseases Guideline. "We are thrilled to publish the Lupus Nephritis Guideline, which follows only two years after the publication of the KDIGO Glomerular Diseases Guideline and reflects the latest advancements in the field,” said Dr. Rovin. "This guideline offers critical insights into navigating the complexities of LN treatment, especially with the introduction of novel therapies, and highlights the need for individualized therapy selection based on patient-specific factors and clinical scenarios. With ongoing trials evaluating additional novel therapeutics and promising new data on the horizon, the guideline sets the stage for future advancements in the management and treatment of LN.” "This guideline includes several key updates to inform clinical decision-making, leveraging the latest evidence to integrate new treatments into the arsenal of established clinical standards,” said Dr. Floege. “A section on chronic kidney disease progression in LN underscores the importance of addressing broader kidney health concerns beyond acute treatment. We hope the rigorous research, clinical insights, and collective expertise represented in this guideline will help improve outcomes for those affected by this challenging condition.” KDIGO thanks the Guideline Work Group for their dedication and expertise and the Evidence Review Team from Brown University School of Public Health for their comprehensive work on this guideline. #lupus #lupusnephritis
