@austingstack @ERAkidney @IrishNephSoc @IrishKidneyAs @DamianFog Great to meet up Austin

[Austin Stack 🇮🇪 @austingstack]

Just finishing a fantastic week with colleagues at @ERAkidney Congress 2025 in Vienna 🇦🇹 Cutting edge science in kidney disease led by the nephrology community from all over the world addressing🌍challenges to improve patient outcomes.

[Damian Fogarty @DamianFog]

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.

[Austin Stack 🇮🇪 @austingstack]

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!

Fully agree @AherneMairead. CKD care needs a multidisciplinary approach and nutrition is a key component @trust_indi @CKJsocial @IrishKidneyAs @worldkidneyday

[Mairead Aherne RD @AherneMairead]

@austingstack @CKJsocial @IrishKidneyAs @worldkidneyday @UL @MedicineAtUL @IrishNephSoc @HSEMidWest @noca_irl @DamianFog When a patient with CKD is elderly &malnourished dietary approach needs to balance kidney-friendly restrictions with adequate nutrition to prevent further decline - full nutritional assessment is essential. Unfortunately not enough community or acute dietitians to support

[Colin White @colinbmwhite]

An inspiring team of people working together to promote a very important message.

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. https://t.co/1bCOaTMzlF
