Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) represents a growing global public health challenge. Despite advancements in management, early identification, personalized therapeutic approaches, and the prevention of associated cardiovascular complications remain critical areas for research.
We invite you to contribute to our Special Issue, entitled "Recent Clinical Perspectives on Chronic Kidney Disease," in the Journal of Clinical Medicine (JCM).
This Special Issue will gather original research articles, comprehensive reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses that provide an overview of the latest clinical and translational discoveries in the field of nephrology. We are particularly interested in work exploring new diagnostic perspectives, the impact of novel therapeutics on CKD progression, the management of common complications (such as anemia, and mineral and bone disorder), and innovations in renal replacement therapy.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.
Dr. Luca Visconti
Guest Editor
