  1. Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Established in 2003 as an independently incorporated, non-profit foundation governed by an international board of directors and managed by the NKF. 

  2. KDIGO Mission Statement To improve the care and outcomes of kidney disease patients worldwide by promoting coordination, collaboration, and integration of initiatives to develop and implement clinical practice guidelines.

  3. Why Do We Need KDIGOTransplant Guidelines? • Encourage transplantation worldwide by: • Defining minimum standards • Removing misconceptions and barriers • Improve patient care by encouraging: • Evidence-based practice • Research, when evidence is poor

  4. Scope • After transplantation • Does not include pre-transplant • Does not include donor issues • Aspects unique to transplantation • Immunosuppressive medications • Focus on prevention

  5. Target Audience • Care-givers • Physicians • Nurses • Coordinators • Pharmacists

  6. Core Principles of KDIGO Guideline Development • Evidence-based methods • Grade evidence • Grade recommendations • Interdisciplinary work groups • Appropriate expertise • International representation • Independent work groups • Openness & transparency • Public review

  10. Step by Step Approach • Define systematic review research questions • Perform literature searches • Screen abstracts and full text articles • Perform data extraction • Summarize evidence in • Summary Tables • Evidence Profiles • Formulate guideline recommendations based on evidence

  11. Searching for Evidence Total Abstracts: 12,327 RCT: 3,168 Cohort: 7,543 Cochrane: 1,609 • Closer scrutiny: 1,347 Immunosuppression: 137 Monitoring/Infections: 670 CVD and Risk Factors: 244 Malignancies, Other: 296

  12. Study Data Extraction • Pre-specified study data elements extracted • Study design • Population and demographics • Intervention(s) and comparator • Outcomes • Results • Study quality and applicability features

  13. Grade the evidence1st step: Quality of the Study • Based on • study design • randomization procedure • allocation concealment • ITT analysis • proportion of patients lost to follow-up

  14. Grade the evidence2nd step: Quality of each Outcome Starting with the quality level of the study, adjustment according to clear definition, precise reporting of the results, based on ITT analysis or with clear description of numbers of patients at risk

  15. Summary Table: Tac vs. CsA, example mortality

  16. Summary Table: Tac vs. CsA, example mortality A A B C C

  17. Importance of Outcomes

  18. Evidence Profile Evidence Profile: Topic 2.1: Tac vs. CsA No difference between Tac and CsA-ME Critical

  19. Grade the recommendationsStrength of statement

  20. Grade the recommendationsStrength of evidence

  21. Grade the recommendationsStatements not graded • Taken for granted • Not sufficiently specific to allow application of evidence • Not subjected to formal review

  22. Grade the recommendationsStatements graded Graded 198 (80.5%) Not Graded 45 (19.5%)

  23. Strength of evidence Low Moderate C (38.9%) B (13.6%) High A (2.0%) D (45.5%) Very Low

  24. Strength of statements 1 50 (25.3%) 2 148 (74.7%) Recommend Suggest

  25. KDIGO Graded Transplant Statements 1A (1.5%) 2D (38.9.%) 1B (8.1%) 2C + 2D = 69% Suggested with Low or Very Low Strength of Evidence 1C (9.1%) 1D (6.6%) 2A (0.5%) 2B (5.6%) 2C (29.8.%)

  26. Guideline Statements • 27 guideline statements • Major content areas: • Immunosuppression • Graft monitoring and infections • Cardiovascular disease • Malignancies • Other complications

  27. Chapters for Guideline StatementsImmunosuppression • Induction Therapy • Initial Maintenance IS Medications • Long-term Maintenance IS Medication • Strategies to Reduce Drug Costs • Monitoring IS Medication • Treatment of Acute Rejection • Treatment of Chronic Allograft Injury

  28. Should we use induction with a biological agent?

  29. Induction • 1.2: We recommend including induction therapy with a biologic agent as part of the initial immunosuppressive regimen in KTRs. (1A) • 1.2.1: We recommend that an IL-2 RA be the first-line induction therapy. (1B) • 1.2.2: We suggest using a lymphocyte depleting agent, rather than an IL-2 RA, for KTR at high immunological risk. (2B)

  30. What is the best maintenance immunosuppressive medication regimen?

  31. Initial Maintenance 2.1: We recommend using a combination of immunosuppressive medications as maintenance therapy, including a CNI and an antiproliferative agent, with or without corticosteroids. (1B)

  32. Initial Maintenance 2.2: We suggest that tacrolimus be the first line CNI used. (2A) 2.3: We suggest that MMF be the first-line anti-proliferative agent. (2B)

  33. Recommended Initial IS Regimen Induction IL-2RA in normal risk and ATG in high risk patients Tacrolimus MMF corticosteroids

  34. Can we reduce medication cost in transplantation?

  35. How should patients be monitored after transplantation?

  36. How can infections be prevented or detected early?

  37. How can cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality be prevented?

  38. How can cancer be prevented or detected early?
