CKD and Glomerular Diseases
This special issue belongs to the section "Medical Research".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chronic kidney disease is a major morbidity, affecting around 10% of the global population with major impact on healthcare and economic burden. The progression of CKD towards end-stage renal disease and costs of renal replacement therapies as well as cardiovascular comorbidities and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality are major concerns for CKD patients; hence, comprehensive efforts to halt CKD are justifiable. Glomerular diseases represent, alongside diabetes, the main cause of CKD. Major breakthroughs in understanding pathogenesis in various glomerular diseases have been achieved with novel techniques, and innovative treatments are available in certain instances. Since any step towards understanding pathogenetic mechanisms in glomerular diseases, CKD progression and personalized treatments is important, we propose this Special Issue as a platform for publishing significant research in this area.
