Our latest paper from the @syd_health and @UofGlasgow research collaboration describes the relationship between cardiometabolic risk factors and kidney disease in males and females in @AJKDonline. Worth a read!

@drpaddymark @UofGSCMH @FrancesMair @BhauteshJani @The_MRC @AlastairLeyland Thanks Paddy! I was incredibly lucky to have amazing supervisors and collaborators!

[Mike Sullivan @sullivanmk8]

@KaitlinMayne @BJGPjournal Maybe… (let’s see what the regulatory bodies say!) Although those most likely to benefit from flozination are still likely to be those with heavy proteinuria!!

[Mike Sullivan @sullivanmk8]

People with high-risk kidney disease can be identified using a simple tool: kidney failure risk equation

Our paper in @BJGPjournal suggests its potential usefulness is limited by low rates of albuminuria testing. This will also limit access to ‘flozins!

[The British Journal of General Practice @BJGPjournal]

CKD: NICE guidelines on chronic kidney disease may improve referrals from primary care to nephrology clinics, but albuminuria testing rates must be improved for the full benefit to be realised https://t.co/3OpFzaypHG @sullivanmk8 @jennifer_s_lees

@BenElyan kicks off the 2022 @ScottishRenal medical abstract session. People with CKD are systematically excluded from cancer drug trials, limiting their access to the best treatments

presence & impact of #multimorbidity clusters on adverse outcomes-Patterns of multimorbidity & risk of adverse outcomes varied with declining eGFR. #chronicpain & #depression emerged as important, associated with adverse outcomes in multimorbidity https://t.co/9ZkNreX9Gk

[BMC Medicine @BMCMedicine]

Declining levels of eGFR can lead to varying patterns of multimorbidity and corresponding risk of adverse outcomes.

Thanks to a great team for supporting this work @drpaddymark @ellessenne @jjcarrero1 @FrancesMair @BhauteshJani @PHanlon17 @DorotheaNitsch @craig_killie

What combinations of health conditions co-exist at different levels of kidney function? 🫘📉

What is the impact on clinical outcomes? 🫀

Check out our new paper in @BMCMedicine
https://t.co/eMrFdL9tzr

[Mike Sullivan @sullivanmk8]

Depression and chronic pain matter!

These conditions have impacts on the day-to-day lives of people, but we showed that when combined with physical conditions like diabetes and heart disease, the risk of adverse outcomes is increased.

[Mike Sullivan @sullivanmk8]

@BhauteshJani @FrancesMair @drpaddymark Thanks, Bhautesh! Papers are one thing, but coffee and cakes are definitely a good way to make your PhD supervisors smile! #PhDchat #AcademicTwitter

[Mike Sullivan @sullivanmk8]

@AghilesHamroun Thanks, Aghiles. Older adults, women and non-diabetics were less likely to have uACR testing. This might indicate where we need to improve testing

[Mike Sullivan @sullivanmk8]

How can we improve referrals from primary care to the renal clinic?🏥🫘

Urine needs to be tested more often for protein!🧪

Our study shows that only around 25% of patients with kidney disease provide urine samples for testing. 🧵
