Chronic Kidney Disease: Current Challenges and Adverse Outcomes

Dear Colleagues,

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) often remains asymptomatic until advanced stages, making early diagnosis difficult. Improved screening and biomarkers are essential to identify CKD earlier and initiate timely interventions. Controlling progression involves comprehensive management, including hypertension, diabetes, and lifestyle factors. Understanding individual patient risk profiles can tailor treatments to slow kidney function decline. CKD leads to complications like cardiovascular disease, anemia, and bone disorders and effective management strategies are needed to reduce adverse outcomes and to improve quality of life. By mobilizing interdisciplinary efforts, we aim to develop improved diagnostics, therapies, and management strategies to reduce CKD adverse outcomes. In this Special Issue, we encourage submissions from clinicians, health experts, and researchers worldwide to share insights and novel approaches to epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment advances in chronic kidney disease.
