kidney.wiki: learn kidneys

The much-requested, long-awaited kidney.wiki app for iOS has arrived!

kidney.wiki is a free open access medical education resource dedicated to pediatric nephrology.

This app is for educational use by medical professionals and cannot be used to evaluate medical conditions or be used to diagnose or treat patients. If you are a patient, please see your doctor for evaluation. The content on this app should not replace the relationship that exists between a patient/site visitor and their physician.

Tools include a pediatric CKiD U25 eGFR calculator, CKiD time to kidney replacement therapy (KRT) calculator, adult CKD-EPI eGFR calculator, total body water and body surface area (BSA) calculator (for children and adults), blood volume and plasma volume calculator (pediatric and adult), fractional excretion of magnesium calculator, tacrolimus hematocrit adjustment calculator, peritoneal dialysis (PD) adequacy calculator, hemodialysis (HD) adequacy calculator including Daugirdas equations and standard Kt/V. Find links to other nephrology FOAMed resources and a whole host of other resources, such as the latest nephrology guidelines including KDIGO and KDOQI.

In today's fast-paced world, accessing essential information in pediatric nephrology can be a challenge. Valuable content is often locked away behind registration or paywalls, hidden within academic literature, or difficult to locate when time is of the essence. kidney.wiki aims to transform knowledge sharing by consolidating the best available information from various sources and presenting it in a user-friendly, easily accessible format – completely free of charge.

We believe in the power of diverse perspectives and open collaboration. While kidney.wiki maintains editorial review to ensure consistency and quality, we embrace the opportunity to present different viewpoints and approaches. In cases where consensus is lacking, we will clearly outline the controversy and offer multiple reasonable solutions. We actively encourage users to contribute their insights and feedback, helping us keep our platform up-to-date and of the highest quality.

Join us on our journey to reshape medical education and empower healthcare professionals in the field of pediatric nephrology.
