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!

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!
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 doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2022.01… @sullivanmk8 @jennifer_s_lees

Declining levels of eGFR can lead to varying patterns of multimorbidity and corresponding risk of adverse outcomes. Read the study by Michael K. Sullivan and colleagues @UofGlasgow here: bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.co…

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.

NEW @UofGlasgow research highlights a simple blood and urine test that can identify those most at risk of severe complications of chronic #KidneyDisease However many patients & GPs remain unaware of the test’s life-saving potential. @BJGPjournal More➡️bit.ly/3LqUToS

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. 🧵 gla.ac.uk/news/headline_8793…

More patients with kidney disease need to provide urine samples so they receive the right treatments at the right time! Our paper is here bjgp.org/content/early/2022/…

The kidney failure risk equation uses blood and urine tests to predict which patients might need a kidney transplant or dialysis in the future. NICE guidelines suggest that GPs use this tool to decide which patients should be referred to specialist renal clinics. @NICEComms
