Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue, entitled "New Perspectives in Chronic Kidney Disease, Transplantation and Immune System", focuses on the relationship between chronic kidney disease, transplantation and the immune system, and the clinical implications of this relationship. It is important to advance research in this area in order to achieve the early diagnosis of kidney disease with an immunological etiology, as well as understand the effects of chronic kidney disease on immune function and its alteration after transplantation.
The application of novel methods to understand the disease and evaluate data for diagnostic purposes will ultimately lead to the validation of a therapeutic approach for these conditions.
In addition, the clinical implications of complement and haemostasis in renal disease and transplantation have been considered, as these are biological systems that are sequentially activated under the influence of endogenous or exogenous triggers and act as a defence system against damaging actions or stimuli. The study of these interactive pathways is crucial in the context of renal disease and/or injury. By obtaining a deeper understanding of the common mechanisms involved, this Special Issue may contribute to knowledge regarding the pathophysiology of kidney disease and transplantation and the development of effective treatments.
