Summary
Indigenous Australians not only suffer from a high burden of kidney disease, but also have poorer disease outcomes compared to non-Indigenous Australians. My research program is focused on improving outcomes for Indigenous Australians with kidney disease by using existing health care data to work out where and why their outcomes are poor within the health care system. It will enable us to identify ways to improve health care systems for Indigenous Australians.

Summary
There is a huge burden of kidney failure in Indigenous Australians. In an attempt to improve this, it is vital for us to understand contributing factors to progression of kidney damage. This study will provide the evidence to design an intervention aimed at slowing progression of kidney disease. It will also lead to the development of clinical guidelines for improvement of kidney disease for Indigenous Australians.

Summary
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important public health problem in Australia and worldwide. Not only does CKD predisposes to end-stage kidney disease, but more importantly, increases the risk of co-morbidities such as cancer and cardiovascular disease, leading to premature death. As an academic nephrologist with interests in clinical epidemiology, health economics and translation research, this proposed program of work will focus on assessing the critical areas in improving the cancer outcome ....Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important public health problem in Australia and worldwide.
