Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Until recently, nephrology was not able to keep pace with oncology, cardiology, or rheumatology in the inexhaustible pipeline of new treatment options tested in an ever-increasing number of randomized controlled trials. In recent years, we have been witnessing dramatically increased interest in the treatment of chronic kidney disease, e.g., diabetic kidney disease, glomerular disease, or autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, but also aimed more generally on the progression of chronic kidney disease and the complications of chronic kidney disease, such as anemia, or hyperkalemia. This progress has led to changing paradigms as reflected by several recently published KDIGO guidelines which now need to be updated much more frequently than before. To personalize treatment, we also need better diagnostic methods, including validated biomarkers reflecting the activity of the disease (including response to treatment) and predicting outcomes.
The aim of this Special Issue of Kidney and Dialysis is to cover most of these areas not only in terms of feature reviews, but also original articles, and to keep the reader updated on recent progress in nephrology and dialysis.
The topic of this Special Issue includes but is not limited to:
- Biomarkers
- Progression of chronic kidney disease
- Cardiovascular and renal risk in CKD
- COVID-19 and the kidney
- Onconephrology
- Kidney function
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD), complications, and nutrition
- Acute kidney injury (AKI)/critical care
- Diabetic kidney disease
- Glomerulonephritis
- Cardionephrology
- Pregnancy and CKD
- Hypertension and nephrology
- ADPKD
- Renal vasculitis
- Lupus nephritis
- Renal and renovascular hypertension
- Kidney amyloidosis
- Hereditary kidney disease
- Renal ischemia
- Kidney stones
- Dialysis, hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD)
- Long-term outcomes
- Renal recovery
- Treatment of kidney disease
- Dietary management and medication
- Renal replacement therapy
- Kidney transplantation
- New diagnosis methods and technologies for kidney function and disease
- Renal imaging
- Renal ultrasound
We hope this topic is of interest to you and invite you to send a tentative title and short abstract to our editorial office ([email protected]) for evaluation before submission. Please note that selected papers are still subject to thorough peer review.
We look forward to receiving your excellent work.
