Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) develops evidence-based clinical practice guidelines to improve care for people with kidney disease worldwide. KDIGO has produced 17 guidelines across kidney care, and 7 of these have been updated comprehensively at least once.
Historically, guidelines were revised in their entirety when novel therapies or treatment paradigms emerged—a process requiring years to complete. To respond more dynamically to accelerated clinical trial results and drug approvals, KDIGO recently adopted a modular update approach for some guidelines.
