It was a privilege to be invited along to @DonationAquinas' very special lecture from consultant transplant surgeon Tim Brown and colleagues from the world-class renal team at @BelfastTrust City Hospital. The pupils were transfixed. Glad to see the cake went to a good home 😊🎂

New research reveals global gaps in diagnosing kidney disease - A recent study has identified that kidney specialists around the world have significantly different approaches on when they feel a kidney biopsy is needed to diagnose their patients.

@sciqst @hswapnil @NIKRFcharity @kidney_boy Thanks Raffaele, yes there’s significant regional variation. Ultimately as an international community we need to biopsy the right patients at the right time to optimise care. This is hopefully a small step towards providing equal access to this for our patients.

Excited to share our publication on international kidney biopsy practice in CJASN. Thanks #nephtwitter for participating- especially@kidney_boy and @hswapnil !

eGFR slope modelling predicts long-term clinical benefit with nefecon in a real-world IgAN population

This modelling analysis indicates that the eGFR benefit seen with nefecon predicts a substantial delay in progression to kidney failure

You are very welcome! Thanks for providing HOPE for kidney patients through research.

[Michael Corr @CorrMP]

A massive thanks to the NI Kidney Research Fund @NIKRFcharity & Punchestown Kidney Research Fund for the travel bursary so @MichaelToal6 and I could attend the conference. Was an amazing learning opportunity.

Forever grateful for the support you give to us and our work.

[Michael Corr @CorrMP]

I had the opportunity to present some of my own @ICATProgramme PhD work at the conference as well as work carried out with colleagues in the @BelfastTrust

And we got to see our very own @QUB_SMDBS Professor @CharuThakar receive an #ASN Distinguished Leader award. An incredible achievement!

@mhcairns1 Thanks for all of your help Megan! Hope all is ok with you.

[Megan Raynor (Cairns) @mhcairns1]

Great to see this published! Well done to @MichaelToal6 and team! Having had a biopsy on both my native kidneys and transplanted kidney through the years, I have experienced the need for this research. Thank you for letting me be a part of it! #Researchpaper #Biopsy #Kidney
