Nephrology Guideline Database

Compare Guideline Targets

The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes has created summary tables listing the key features of the currently-available dialysis clinical practice guidelines in Europe, Canada, Australia, UK and US. The ultimate goal is to create an interactive and searchable database, available on the Internet, to facilitate comparison of the guidelines.

Choose from the list below for a guideline comparison table showing recommendations, evidence, and notes from the 5 international groups.
