Dr Sarah Roxburgh works as a part time staff specialist in Renal Medicine at Royal North Shore Hospital (RNSH), and as a Visiting Medical Officer in Nephrology at the Sydney Adventist Hospital (SAH). Sarah graduated in 1996 from the University of Sydney, with the bulk of her initial training at RNSH. She completed her Advanced Training in Nephrology at Beaumont Hospital, Dublin, Ireland, which has a very large renal unit that transplants over 150 patients a year. She was awarded her Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians in 2006. Her doctorate was under the supervision of Professor Hugh Brady, University College Dublin, and co-supervised by Professor Carol Pollock in Sydney. Her PhD focussed on the molecular mechanisms influencing the progression of renal scar in diabetic kidney disease._x000D_ Retarding progression of diabetic nephropathy, and chronic kidney disease generally, remains a major focus for Sarah in clinical practice. In addition, she has a significant interest in hypertensive disorders and chronic kidney disease in pregnancy, and is part of the high risk obstetric medical team at RNSH. Due to her interest in pregnancy, Sarah manages a large cohort of young women, and particularly a group with IgA nephropathy and other chronic kidney disease. She has a strong interest in pre conception counselling and risk factor modification pre pregnancy, in patients with complex medical disease, and / or multiagent hypertension. She has a significant cohort of teenagers and young adults with chronic kidney disease, and is very interested in the care of the teenager transitioning from paediatric to adult nephrological care. Prevention of recurrent kidney stones, management of glomerulonephritis, management of patients on haemodialysis (home and in centre), management of the patient on peritoneal dialysis, and management of kidney transplant recipients in the long term, are all core parts of Sarah's nephrology practice. Holistic care over a lifetime of managing chronic kidney disease is key to good nephrological practice, and Sarah is highly aware of this.

• 21.09.2021I met Dr Sarah at the SAH at Wahroonga after being admitted Christmas Eve 2008. I was 63 years old and so I’ll I did not know one could be that ill, one one occasion I actually thought I was dying. I was in severe renal failure and nobody knew why, entrance Dr Sarah Roxburgh who for more than 2 weeks took such expert and loving care of me with so many blood tests, scans and tests until I started to recover. I went home and for more than the next 2 years I saw her regularly until my renal function had returned to where she was happy. I have rheumatoid arthritis and the inflammation from that got into my kidneys. I have never forgotten this sweet lovely and most capable lady who I will always feel bought me back to life. Thank you Dr Sarah.
