Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Kidney diseases are a growing health problem worldwide that can lead to the development of cardiac alterations, causing millions of deaths. Renal and cardiac diseases are intrinsically related through the pathology known as cardiorenal syndrome (CRS), which consists of acute or chronic failure of the kidney or heart that leads to dysfunction of the other organ. Thus, five subtypes of CRS are highly prevalent due to the global prevalence of heart and renal pathologies. Recent research has advanced our understanding of CRS, and factors such as redox alterations, oxidative stress, inflammation, dyslipidemia and fibrosis are recognized as potential triggers of this pathology. However, specific therapies are not yet available for clinical routine.
Therefore, we welcome submissions to our Special Issue entitled “Novel Drug Candidates for the Treatment of Cardiac and Renal Diseases”. Manuscripts focusing on novel treatments for renal and/or cardiac diseases are welcome to further advance our understanding in this area.
