Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Kidney diseases (KDs) are known worldwide from the bench to the bedside, but they are a hard theme to approach with one single point of view. In this sense, a selection of translational studies would support the medical science community to better understand the complex network of the renal failure process, its management, and potential treatment targets. This Special Issue will offer a comprehensive overview of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI). It will include many areas in nephrology research and its correlated fields, such clinical parameters and biomarkers, molecular biology applied to KD diagnosis, and basic research on and innovation in nephrology. Manuscripts should address such topics as cardiovascular disease in CKD patients, diabetes, kidney disease, palliative care in CKD, biochemical tests for evaluation and prognostics in CKD, renal replacement therapies, and artificial intelligence (AI) applied to clinical routines. Hemodialysis and treatment advances in renal replacement therapy (RRT) used to replace the capacity of blood filtration, which is completely lost in end-stage renal disease (ESRD), are also welcome in this Special Issue.
Dr. Ane Claudia Fernandes Nunes

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers).

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
