Our editorial and medical-review standards
This is a YMYL health resource, so we hold it to a high bar. Here's the process behind every story you read.
A practising nephrologist, urologist or renal dietitian checks each article for medical accuracy before it publishes.
We cite named guidelines and research β KDIGO, NKF, NICE, ERA and peer-reviewed studies. We never invent numbers or promise outcomes.
Every story carries a publish date and a "last reviewed" date. When guidance changes, we update the article and say what changed.
