Just in time for
KDIGO guidelines for CKD!

KDIGO is pleased to announce the publication of the 2024 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Evaluation and Management of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). The Executive Summary will be published in the April 2024 issue of Kidney International.

The KDIGO 2024 CKD Guideline was co-chaired by Professor Adeera Levin, MD (Canada), and Paul Stevens, MB (United Kingdom). Key highlights include guidance updates on measuring estimated glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria, utilization of CKD risk prediction equations, and personalized treatment recommendations for kidney and cardiovascular risk reductions tailored to individual patient needs and preferences.

“We are thrilled to publish this eagerly anticipated update, which comes during a transformative period in nephrology, offering new hope for people living with kidney disease," said Dr. Levin. “Recent advancements in GFR evaluation, risk prediction, and the arrival of novel treatments are poised to enhance CKD prognosis and management. We also hope the guideline’s emphasis on multidisciplinary teamwork, patient engagement, and a holistic, evidence-based approach to care will help catalyze positive change, resulting in more coordinated CKD care management worldwide. By integrating the latest evidence and expert consensus, we aim to empower healthcare professionals, and patients with actionable recommendations to optimize patient outcomes and enhance quality of life.”

“As Co-Chairs, we would like to recognize the outstanding efforts of the Guideline Work Group and extend our thanks to the Evidence Review Team from Johns Hopkins, without whom this guideline would not have been possible," said Dr. Stevens. The Work Group was diverse, multinational, highly experienced, and exceptionally committed, and we are grateful for their contributions to both this guideline and to global nephrology.”
