Cochrane Kidney and Transplant
Cochrane Kidney and Transplant (CKT) is an independent, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing up-to-date, accurate information about healthcare. Cochrane Kidney and Transplant produces systematic reviews. These reviews gather all the available evidence for a specific healthcare topic published in medical journals. Rigorous methods are used to ensure that the evidence included in the review is assessed and interpreted appropriately, so that the findings can be used to inform decisions about interventions for people with kidney disease.
Cochrane Kidney and Transplant’s scope covers the following major areas of kidney disease:
- Acute kidney injury
- Chronic kidney disease
- Diabetic kidney disease
- Glomerulonephritis
- Kidney transplantation
- Solid organ transplantation
- Urinary tract infections
- Effect of drugs on kidney function
