Novel Biomarkers of Kidney Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

With the expanding therapeutic options for treating different chronic kidney diseases, there is an increasing need for the non-invasive diagnosis of glomerular disease and, even more importantly, the assessment of its activity, chronicity (degree of fibrosis), putative outcome, optimal choice and response to treatment. The increase in the understanding of the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease has resulted in the identification of new potential therapeutic targets. Thus, the aim of this Special Issue is to provide an update on the recent progress in these two areas. We encourage authors to submit papers on the recent advances in biomarkers and the potential therapeutic targets of kidney disease.
