Kidney Disease

• Kidney disease in the Tasmanian community (CKD.TASlink study)

This project will identify geographic and gender inequities in access to treatment for Tasmanians living with chronic kidney disease.

• A comprehensive examination of potentially modifiable vascular risk factors and their consequences in Tasmania

Vascular disease devastates the lives of many Tasmanians. Using a statewide, data-linkage approach, we will report the age, gender and geographic distribution of risk factors for vascular disease (including diabetes, high cholesterol, vitamin D deficiency and kidney disease), then see how these risk factors link to illness and death.

• Kidney disease care in young adults

Co-design and evaluation of the Tasmanian young adult kidney and transplant clinic

• Genetic kidney disease

In collaboration with KidGEN, we will examine the prevalence of genetic kidney disease in Tasmania.

• Health and Wellbeing Impacts of Creative Arts in Health Care Environments

The impact of patient stories for people being treated with dialysis

• Factors that Influence Progression of People With Type 1 Diabetes to End Stage Kidney Failure in Tasmania: Management pathways to improve health outcomes

Examining the nutritional factors that influence the development of kidney disease in people with type 1 diabetes.

• Factors that Predict Early Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease in People Aged in their 40s

Using the childhood determinants of health study data, we will examine the factors that influence the development of kidney disease.

• Defining Multimorbidity within the Australian Population and it's Impact on kidney disease outcomes

People with kidney disease often have multiple other health conditions. This project will use mathematical modelling to examine the relationship between these co-morbidities.
