KDOQI (Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative)

The National Kidney Foundation Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (NKF KDOQI ™)

The National Kidney Foundation Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (NKF KDOQI) ™ has provided evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for all stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and related complications since 1997. Recognized throughout the world for improving the diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease, the KDOQI Guidelines have changed the practices of numerous specialties and disciplines and improved the lives of thousands of kidney patients.

To date, KDOQI has developed and disseminated the following twelve guidelines for the care of kidney disease patients.

More information about the Clinical Practice Guidelines
The Guidelines have been widely adopted in the United States and abroad and have been a stimulus for several national renal organizations to develop their own Guidelines. They have been translated into at least a dozen languages, have been the focus of numerous quality improvement activities, and have served as the basis for clinical performance measures developed by Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services and other organizations.
