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.

Fully agree @AherneMairead. CKD care needs a multidisciplinary approach and nutrition is a key component @trust_indi @CKJsocial @IrishKidneyAs @worldkidneyday
14 Mar 2025
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

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=Twโฆ
