The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines

The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for diagnosing, classifying, and managing kidney disease. They help healthcare providers assess how well the kidneys are functioning, determine the severity of the disease, and guide treatment options to slow progression and prevent complications. The guidelines cover testing methods, risk factors, blood pressure management, and the timing for dialysis or transplantation. Overall, KDIGO aims to improve patient outcomes worldwide by standardizing care and promoting early detection and appropriate management of kidney disease.
