UK Renovascular Service Survey
Help us to better understand the renal revascularisation practice of your renal centre and practice patterns across the UK by filling in this short survey. This will help the future development of a definitive RCT of revascularization for patients with highly significant RAS but with high-risk clinical symptomatology. If you wish to discuss this separately, please contact darren.green@nca.nhs.uk.

Climate Change, Kidney Care and Sustainability
This ISN survey aims to ascertain the kidney care community’s views on the impact of climate change on the health of people with kidney diseases and the environmental burden of kidney care practices. It is open for participation by doctors, nurses, physicians, technicians, dieticians, pharmacists, social workers, trainees, or anyone involved in taking care of people with kidney diseases. Your responses will help identify practice and research priorities and advocate for environmentally sustainable nephrology practices.
Dialyzer Reactions
‘Dialyzer Reactions’ are commonly encountered across the haemodialysis community. The exposure of a patient’s blood to the dialysis membrane has been recognised as the origin for several decades, termed bioimcompatibility. Despite advances in technology, clinicians continue to see these ‘pseudo-anaphylactic’ reactions in modern-day practice. There is, however, variation in identification and management of these patients. Please help us understand the prevalence, diagnosis and management of patients experiencing ‘dialyser reactions’ to define best practice by completing this short survey.
