Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the pathological features and complications arising in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD). It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the structural and functional changes associated with long-term dialysis, with particular attention on cardiovascular complications, vascular pathology including arteriovenous fistula (AVF) alterations, and morphological changes in the peritoneal membrane in chronic PD patients.
We welcome contributions that explore the mechanisms and histopathological findings of dialysis-associated infections, dialysis-related organ damage, and the role of tissue pathology in informing clinical decision-making. By highlighting the intersection between clinical nephrology and pathology, this issue seeks to deliver practical insights for researchers and clinicians involved in the management of dialysis-related complications.
Dr. Chien-Hung Lin
