Shilpa Jesudason, Head of Unit at Central Adelaide, shared a post on the LinkedIn about a paper published in Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation:

Led by Laura Cuthbertson, Matthew Jose and team, using a unique linked dataset from Tasmania, we found:

  • Early signs of KD in 10% of mums
  • Women with suspected CKD had worse pregnancy outcomes
  • Urine albumin testing rates were very low
