Over
Prof Liz Lightstone is Professor of Renal Medicine for the Faculty of Medicine, Imperial
College London, and an Honorary Consultant Physician at the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust Renal and Transplant Centre in Hammersmith Hospital.
She has over two decades of experience in the management and treatment of kidney issues. She sees private patients at the Hammersmith Hospital and at the Centennial Medical Centre in Elstree.
Professor Lightstone gained a first class medical degree at Cambridge University and then gained her primary medical degree (as runner up to the Gold Medallist in the University of London and Senior Scholar at Kings) in 1983 at Kings College Medical School and went on to undertake her training in general medicine and nephrology; she won an MRC Clinical Training Fellowship to undertake her PhD in Immunology and then an MRC Clinician Scientist award to fund further post doctoral work. In 1986, Professor Lightstone gained membership with the Royal College of Physicians, becoming a Fellow in 1996. She gained her PhD in 1993 and has been an academic consultant physician at Imperial College London and the Hammersmith Hospital since 1996. She was promoted to full Professor in 2014.
Prof. Lightstone is widely known for her expertise in glomerulonephritis, especially lupus and lupus nephritis but also nephrotic syndrome and all forms of glomerular disease as well as the prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease. She also specialises in pre-pregnancy counselling and antenatal care for women with kidney disease and in her NHS practice has cared for over 1000 women going through pregnancy with kidney disease.
Prof. Lightstone is an active member of numerous committees and advisory boards, including sitting on the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) Executive Committee and elected Deputy Chair of the ISN Western Europe Regional Board and the Council of Women in Nephrology. She is also Co-chair of the International Advisory Panel, GSK Global GUIDE Program, Co-chair of the UKKRC Glomerulonephritis Clinical Study Group, and founding national coordinator and active member of the Renal Disease and Pregnancy Rare Disease Group. She has contributed to guidelines on lupus and lupus nephritis, pregnancy and kidney disease, advised NICE in these areas and is on the Advisory Board of Nature Rev Nephrology. She is global co-chair of the SONG-GD (glomerular disease) steering committee reflecting her enthusiasm for ensuring patient voices are central to priority setting in research.
Alongside her diligent research, she has had major roles in education and mentoring, both in her own hospital as well as guiding clinical decisions for patients with kidney disease across West London, the UK and far further afield. During the pandemic she has developed additional expertise in the management of severe COVID in patients with and without kidney disease - she co-chairs the Trust's COVID Treatment and Guideline group and is part of an exceptionally productive research programme evaluating immune
responses to natural infection with COVID and after COVID vaccination in kidney
patients. She has vaccinated 100s of patients and staff during this challenging
time.
