Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Kidney disease is a serious clinical problem in companion animals, with increasing incidence as these animals’ longevity improves. However, clinical courses of the disease vary significantly among animal species, and thus treatment strategies based on human medicine may not always be effective. To develop an adequate and effective method for combating kidney disease in companion animals, elucidating the species-specific mechanisms of the development and progression of the disease is necessary. For this purpose, pathophysiological events, including changes in the cytokines, growth factors, and other molecules, must be demonstrated for each nephron segment and renal structure. Immunohistochemistry would be a powerful tool in the study of kidney disease in companion animals.
This Special Issue is inviting the submission of papers providing scientific evidence regarding the species-specific pathophysiological mechanisms of kidney disease in companion animals, not only in dogs and cats but also horses, birds, and exotic animals. Research using in situ hybridization is also welcome. Reports are not limited to chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injury; those covering any type of kidney disease will be considered. Research about normal kidneys is also welcome if it has a clinical background.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Veterinary Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
