@austingstack @CKJsocial @IrishKidneyAs @worldkidneyday @UL @MedicineAtUL @IrishNephSoc @HSEMidWest @noca_irl @DamianFog Very interesting data. Community Dietitians are essential in supporting GPs preventing CKD progression, reducing hospital admissions, and improving patients' quality of life through tailored nutritional interventions in CKD 1-3 @trust_indi

@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

@austingstack @FrankMoriarty @CKJsocial @IrishKidneyAs @worldkidneyday @UL @MedicineAtUL @IrishNephSoc @HSEMidWest @noca_irl @DamianFog Great work Austin. Did you determine what proportion were ID’d through screening vs known diagnosis? With meds, did you look at higher levels of polypharmacy, eg >=10 meds? Potential to ID CKD and adjust meds accordingly if we had comprehensive meds reviews in primary care
