Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our Special Issue aims to delve into the complexities of acute and chronic kidney conditions, aiming to shed light on key diagnostic, therapeutic, and research challenges. Risk factors for the development and progression of CKD include a low nephron number at birth, nephron loss due to increasing age, and acute or chronic kidney injuries caused by toxic exposures or diseases. CKD frequently occurs in association with diabetes and hypertension. There are also other causes, including obesity and, less commonly, polycystic kidney disease, and other issues include glomerulonephritis, lupus nephritis, and kidney cancer. We are pleased to invite you to share your insights and bridge the gap between research, practice, and diagnosis for the benefit of CKD patients. The aim of our Special Issues is to support ongoing research efforts in diabetes and hypertension, kidney function, and diagnosis and treatment of CKD.
Our aim is to drive together perspectives and advancements to improve kidney health. Original research articles and reviews are welcome to be submitted. Research areas may include the following: hypertension, diabetes, histological changes, diagnosis and treatment of CKD, kidney failure management, and treatment strategies, including approaches targeting inflammation and fibrosis.
Join us on a journey of discovery in the realm of kidney failure and stay up to date with the newest advancements in chronic kidney disease research. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Valentina Câmpean
Guest Editor
