The eGuide was revised in January 2009 in the light of guidance from SIGN, NICE, and the Renal Association/RCPE consensus statement and Renal Association CKD guideline that were all published in 2008. The authors were Jane Goddard, Kevin Harris and Neil Turner.
The first version of the eGuide was an adaptation of the UK CKD Guidelines (2005). The authors of the original online adaptation were Neil Turner and Steve Blades with the help of Deena Iskander and others.
