Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains a major global health challenge, affecting millions of individuals and placing a significant burden on healthcare systems. Advances in relation to its pathophysiological understanding and therapeutic innovations have opened new avenues for CKD management, aiming to slow its progression, improve patient outcomes, and enhance their quality of life.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in CKD treatment, including novel pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, precision medicine approaches, renal replacement strategies, and lifestyle modifications. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and clinical studies that explore emerging therapeutic targets, innovative drug therapies, the role of SGLT2 inhibitors, non-steroidal MRAs, GLP-1 receptor agonists, dietary interventions, personalized treatment strategies, and other drugs currently under investigation in clinical trials.
By gathering cutting-edge research, this Special Issue seeks to foster a deeper understanding of CKD treatment paradigms and pave the way for future advancements in nephrology. We look forward to your valuable contributions to this important field.
