KDIGO follows a rigorous Disclosure of Interest (DOI) and conflict management policy. All participants, including WG members, ERTs, and the Methods Committee, must declare financial and nonfinancial interests. DOIs are classified by risk level (high, moderate, low), and those with high-risk conflicts may be recused from decision-making on a particular topic. Updates are required at every major stage of development, and all disclosures are included in the Public Review and final Guideline publications.
