Kidney stone disease is no longer considered merely an episodic urological condition. It is increasingly recognized as a complex, recurrent, and heterogeneous disorder shaped by metabolic, nutritional, genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Growing evidence also highlights its association with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the broader cardio-kidney-metabolic (CKM) continuum.
The 7th edition of the ICONEKT Online Academy, “Let’s Talk About Kidney Stones”, will explore how emerging scientific knowledge can be translated into individualized prevention strategies and more precise patient-centered care.

Professor John A. Sayer, MD, PhD
Clinical Professor of Renal Medicine and Deputy Dean of Clinical Medicine, Biosciences Institute, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Newcastle University; Consultant Nephrologist, Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom.
This session will show how phenotype-driven genetic testing can identify monogenic stone disorders, refine counselling and surveillance, and enable mechanism-based clinical management.
Format: Combined expert lecture and case-based discussion
All sessions are held online on Thursdays from 18:00 to 19:00 (Brussels time).
Accreditation SPF/INAMI for Belgian accreditation has been requested.
