What is the difference between Kdigo and Kdoqi?

Is kidney disease a chronic illness?
The disease is called “chronic” because the damage to your kidneys happens slowly over a long period of time. This damage can cause wastes to build up in your body. CKD can also cause other health problems.
What is the Kdoqi rule of 6?
The KDOQI “Rule of 6s” suggests that a fistula can be used when it is at least 6 mm in diameter, < 6 mm deep, and has a blood flow > 600 mL/min. However, with maturation failure rates as high as 60%,4 a greater understanding of what it takes to make an AVF useable is necessary.
What causes hardening of the kidneys?
Fats, cholesterol and other substances (plaque) can build up in and on your kidney artery walls (atherosclerosis). As these deposits get larger, they can harden, reduce blood flow, cause kidney scarring and eventually narrow the artery.
What is KT V in dialysis?
The parameter Kt/V is a measurement of the efficacy of a hemodialysis session. It identifies the effective removal of a specific solute (clearance K) resulting from a given treatment (characterized by time t) in a given patient (with a specific volume of distribution V for the solute considered).
What is peritoneal dialysis and how does it work?
During peritoneal dialysis, a cleansing fluid flows through a tube (catheter) into part of your abdomen. The lining of your abdomen (peritoneum) acts as a filter and removes waste products from your blood. After a set period of time, the fluid with the filtered waste products flows out of your abdomen and is discarded.
What does Kdigo stand for?
