Cardiovascular Events and Clinical Priorities in Chronic Kidney Disease

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will deal with CV involvement in chronic kidney disease patients. The reason for focusing on this field is the still scarce importance given to the topic, which deserves due attention since CV death is one of the main causes of death in CKD patients. The scope of the Special Issue ranges from hereditary kidney diseases and their CV complications to the systemic aspects of urolithiasis, such as kidney stones. The diagnosis of heart failure in CKD is another hot topic which is worth addressing. PROMs, which is the acronym for Patient-Reported Outcome Measures, is a new frontier in medical science. 

PROMs are scientific tools that reflect the perspectives and experiences of people with chronic diseases in relation to their treatment or disease condition, giving value and quality to the information that comes from the people themselves. Other articles may focus on the impact of CV on two different types of dialysis treatment while a close look at nutrients in CKD with a special insight on salt intake will conclude this journey around the complex world of CV complications in chronic kidney diseases.

We hope that you will appreciate this SI and enjoy reading it.

Prof. Dr. Francesca Mallamaci
Guest Editor
