Abstract
The 2102 KDIGO Guidelines for CKD evaluation, classification, and management have updated the original 2002 KDOQI Guidelines, using newer data and addressing issues raised over the last decade concerning definitions and assessment. This commentary highlights the key aspects of the CKD guidelines, and describes the rationale for specific wording and the scope of the document. A precis of key concepts in each of the five sections of the guideline is presented. The guideline document is intended for general practioners and nephrologists, and covers both adult and pediatric CKD evaluation, classification, and management. Throughout the guideline, we have attempted to overtly address areas of controversy or non-consensus, international relevance, and impact on practice and public policy.
