Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Local cytotoxic effects, systemic disease burden, and nutritional imbalances are usually associated with the initiation and propagation of structural and functional renal impairments; irreversible chronic kidney diseases evolve without timely therapeutic interventions when available. Metabolic disorders, systemic diseases, infection, and immunoinflammatory dysregulations, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, nephritis, and cystic diseases, are rising at an alarming rate around the globe and causing renal injuries, leading to significant worldwide morbidity and mortality. Despite progress in understanding the etiology of renal cell injuries, there are knowledge gaps on the pathogenesis of acute and chronic renal diseases.
This Research Topic welcomes the submission of original manuscripts (unpublished research works), updated reviews (of the existing literate), and brief commentaries (on emerging areas of mechanisms of renal injuries). The idea is to broadly and holistically provide updated knowledge of structural and functional renal impairment mechanisms. Preliminary studies involving the effects of the ongoing pandemic or repeated vaccination on kidney structure and function are also welcome.
This Special Issue welcomes the clinical and basic science research submission of manuscripts related to:
- Aging and kidney injury;
- Diabetes and kidney injury;
- Obesity and kidney injury;
- Hypertension and kidney injury;
- PKD and kidney injury;
- Nephritis and kidney injury;
- AKIs and kidney injury;
- Ureteral reflux and kidney injury;
- Pyelonephritis and kidney injury;
- Tumor and kidney injury;
- COVID-19 and kidney injury;
- Nutrients/minerals and kidney injury;
- Kidney as an endocrine organ.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
