Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hemodialysis is a key treatment for end-stage kidney disease and severe acute kidney injury. Despite advancements in technology, patient care protocols, and outcomes, challenges like vascular access, dialysis adequacy, quality of life, and long-term complications remain. The field continues to be a major area of research, focusing on improving treatment options, enhancing safety, and developing more personalized care strategies.
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements in hemodialysis, focusing on cutting-edge research and new technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, innovative dialysis techniques, new dialysis membranes, dialysis-related complications, and patient-centered care. The goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of current trends, clinical applications, and future directions.
Recent studies highlight promising innovations, such as biocompatible membranes, wearable dialysis devices, and personalized treatment regimens. Research on dialysis adequacy, optimal timing, and individualized strategies is advancing rapidly, alongside efforts to reduce morbidity and mortality. Breakthroughs in vascular access and monitoring technologies are poised to transform clinical practice.
We invite original research articles, clinical studies, and reviews that address the latest advancements and trends in hemodialysis, focusing on improving patient outcomes and the dialysis process.
Dr. Edita Žiginskienė
