The recommendations for the first draft of this guideline resulted from a collective decision reached by informal discussion by the authors and, whenever necessary, with input from the Chair of the Clinical Practice Guidelines Committee. If no agreement had been reached on the appropriate grading of a recommendation, a vote would have been held and the majority opinion carried. However this was not necessary for this guideline.
All authors made declarations of interest in line with the policy in the Association’s Clinical Practice Guidelines Development Manual. Further details can be obtained on request from the UK Kidney Association.
