Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue titled “Molecular Advances and Therapeutic Strategies in Renal Failure” will mainly cover several aspects regarding molecular and/or cellular mechanisms of renal cell injury leading to (acute or chronic) renal failure, providing us with a platform to potentially build/design specific therapeutic strategies that can prevent/cure those syndromes which are commonly faced by Nephrologists. The increase in their prevalence is due to the populations’ average age progressively increasing and; diabetic and cardiovascular diseases also increasing worldwide; and the large use/abuse of nephrotoxic drugs or agents, such as, for example, radiocontrast media administration.
This Special Issue is also open to considering manuscripts containing novel (including molecular) findings and/or reports (regarding novel therapeutic strategies) regarding patients undergoing dialysis, as well as regarding different genetic (renal) diseases that are often faced by Nephrologists (but also by other Specialists too), such as ADPKD, Alport’s Syndrome and Anderson-Fabry Disease, which can all often lead to chronic renal failure.
Prof. Dr. Michele Andreucci
Guest Editor
