Clinical Practice Guidelines ill Nephrology

Abstract

Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) in Nephrology have been introduced widely over the last decade, and a  timely re-evaluation of their role, value and future is occurring. The connectors values of clinical applicability, evidence-based, authoritative accessible and implementable all have inherent risks. The discipline of constructing CPGs is being improved, and bodies such as KDOQI and the ISN are striving to make them consistent yet modifiable to the individual patient or socioeconomic realities.
