Pediatric Kidney Disease: Prevalence, Risk, and Management Strategies

Dear Colleagues,

Pediatric kidney disease is an increasingly recognized health challenge, with significant implications for growth, development, and long-term well-being. Understanding its prevalence, associated risk factors, and optimal management strategies is critical in improving outcomes in affected children. Over the decades, research has advanced from basic epidemiological studies to sophisticated insights into genetic predispositions, environmental influences, and innovative therapeutic interventions.

This Special Issue will highlight cutting-edge research that enhances our understanding of pediatric nephrology, encompassing early detection, risk stratification, and evidence-based management approaches.

We invite high-quality contributions comprising original research, reviews, and clinical studies that address novel mechanisms, preventive strategies, and practical interventions. By consolidating these insights, this Special Issue will guide clinicians and researchers in optimizing care for children with kidney disease.

Dr. Andreea Liana Bot (Rachisan)
