Sarah J. Mckenna is an Allergist based in Camperdown, NSW, Australia. She looks after people who are dealing with allergy and skin symptoms that just don’t seem to settle. For many patients, that can mean ongoing hives, itching, and flare-ups that come and go without a clear trigger.
In practice, Sarah has a focus on Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) and hives. CSU can be really frustrating because it often keeps reappearing, even when tests don’t show a simple cause. Sarah helps people work out what might be setting things off, and what can be done to keep symptoms under control over time. At times, that includes helping with day-to-day choices, like how to manage triggers and when to seek extra care.
Along with allergy care, Sarah also supports patients who have been told they have Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) or Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH). These are liver conditions that can be linked with overall health and long-term risks. While an allergist’s role is not the same as liver specialist care, Sarah can still help by coordinating care and supporting the allergy side of things, especially when symptoms overlap or when medicines need careful planning.
Over time, allergy care becomes a bit more than just “taking an antihistamine and hoping for the best”. Sarah aims to make the plan make sense, step by step. She talks things through in plain language and takes care with how treatment options may fit with your other health needs. People can have different goals too, and treatment often needs fine-tuning as symptoms change.
Sarah’s education and ongoing professional learning are centred on allergy and immunology, with practical training that helps her guide patients with common and tough-to-manage conditions. She stays focused on what helps in real life, not just what sounds good on paper.
Research can matter when symptoms are stubborn, and clinical trials may be an option for some people, depending on what’s going on. If relevant, Sarah can discuss what studies and newer options might look like in general terms, and how that would fit with your current care.
If you’re in Camperdown and you’re dealing with hives or long-lasting allergy symptoms, Sarah J. Mckenna is a calm, steady option to help you sort through what’s happening and plan next steps.
