K/DOQI gets to the heart of managing dyslipidemias in patients with CKD.
Nephrol Nurs J. 2005 May-Jun; 32(3):337-8.NN

Abstract

There is a wealth of data in the general population regarding interventions to reduce cardiovascular risk. Unfortunately, most of these studies exclude patients with chronic kidney disease. As a result, the lack of CKD specific data has resulted in a lack of attention and intervention. With the epidemic levels of cardiovascular disease in patients on dialysis, the NKF has established these K/DOQI guidelines in an effort to get to the "heart" of dyslipidemias and ultimately to assist the health care team in their effort to improve CKD patient outcomes. In addition, the National Kidney Foundation currently has draft K/DOQI Clinical Practice Guidelines for Cardiovascular Disease in the public review process. These new guidelines will elaborate on areas not covered in the dyslipidemia guidelines.
