KDIGO publishes 2026 Clinical Practice Guideline Draft for Acute Kidney Injury and Acute Kidney Disease

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK, 31 March 2026 – BioPorto A/S (“BioPorto” or “Company”) (CPH: BIOPOR) today announced that the KDIGO 2026 Clinical Practice Guideline Draft for Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and Acute Kidney Disease (AKD) has been published, which introduces the first major update to global AKI guidelines since 2012. The draft highlights substantial advances in early detection, risk prediction, and biomarker enabled identification of acute kidney injury, reflecting a major step forward for the field.

The new guideline recognizes AKI and AKD as part of a continuum, underscoring the importance of knowing earlier, more precise diagnosis using both functional measures and structural biomarkers. KDIGO also emphasizes improved clinical decision support tools, enhanced risk stratification, and updated recommendations covering fluid management, nephrotoxin stewardship, and follow-up care to mitigate long term adverse outcomes.

“KDIGO’s updated framework affirms the global shift toward earlier identification and intervention in acute kidney disorders,” said CEO Carsten Buhl. “We believe this represents an important advancement for clinicians and patients, and we look forward to contributing to the ongoing dialogue with clinicians on how NGAL and other biomarkers can provide better outcome for patients.”

KDIGO has opened the draft guideline for public review through April 27, 2026, and is inviting feedback from clinicians, researchers, and stakeholders worldwide. For more information: https://kdigo.org/guidelines/acute-kidney-injury/
