European renal best practice guideline on the management and evaluation of the kidney donor and recipient

The purpose of this Clinical Practice Guideline is to provide guidance on evaluation of the kidney donor and transplant recipient as well as on the management of the recipient in the perioperative period. It is designed to provide information and aid decision-making. It is not intended to define a standard of care, and should neither be construed as one nor should it be interpreted as prescribing an exclusive course of management. The original version of this guideline was published in Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation and this current version is a reduced article aiming to disseminate the guideline into Spanish-speaking countries and transplant communities.
