What is the scope of this guideline?
The scope of this guideline covers K Adults with CKD ND without diabetes mellitus, K Adults with CKD ND with diabetes mellitus, K Adults with CKD ND who have received a kidney transplant (CKD T), K Children with CKD ND, and K Elderly with CKD ND. It does not include BP management in patients with dialysis-dependent CKD 5 (CKD 5D). Recommendations were also made for adults with CKD and diabetes, since these individuals constitute the single largest subgroup of CKD patients in the world. The Work Group also created dedicated chapters for adults who received a kidney transplant, children, and the elderly, although the evidence base for each of these subpopulations is rather small.
