Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative (KDOQI)

The Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) is a program by the National Kidney Foundation aimed at improving care for people with kidney disease. It develops guidelines based on research to help healthcare providers diagnose, treat, and manage kidney conditions effectively. KDOQI focuses on early detection, appropriate treatments, and improving patients' quality of life, especially for those with chronic kidney disease and those on dialysis or considering transplants. Its goal is to ensure consistent, high-quality care for individuals affected by kidney problems, ultimately helping prevent disease progression and complications.
