Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines

The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for diagnosing, treating, and managing kidney disease. They help healthcare professionals assess how well kidneys are functioning, detect early signs of kidney damage, and determine when interventions are needed to slow progression or prevent complications. The guidelines include standardized ways to measure and classify kidney health, recommend treatment goals, and emphasize the importance of controlling blood pressure, blood sugar, and other risk factors. Overall, KDIGO aims to improve outcomes for patients by ensuring consistent, high-quality kidney care worldwide.
