Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative

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 the latest research to help healthcare providers diagnose, treat, and monitor kidney conditions effectively. KDOQI focuses on early detection, management strategies, and improving patient outcomes, such as delaying disease progression and reducing complications. Its standards ensure consistent, evidence-based practices across different healthcare settings, ultimately helping individuals with kidney disease achieve better health and quality of life.
