KDIGO Controversies Conference, London 2009
KDIGO held a Controversies Conference in London, October 4-6, titled, Chronic Kidney Disease: Definition, Classification, and Prognosis where more than 50 cohorts studies were presented. The conference participants comprised of international experts with different research backgrounds from clinical nephrologists, methodologist, epidemiologists, public health specialists, and general practitioners. An unprecedented amount of data was presented in order to answer the following questions: 1.What are the key outcomes of CKD? 2.What progress has been made in CKD testing (eGFR and albuminuria)? 3.What are the key factors determining prognosis (eGFR, albuminuria, others)? 4.Should the current CKD classification (based on eGFR) be modified to include additional factors associated with prognosis? 5.Based on these results, should the CKD definition be modified?
