Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The modern nephrology is characterized by an increasing openness to discovering the genetic and molecular basis of renal damage. This is fundamental for those rare glomerular and tubular diseases, with pathogenetic mechanisms that are not fully clarified, to optimize their diagnostic and therapeutic pathways. Recent advances in molecular biology have also highlighted novel pathogenic aspects of non-hereditary kidney diseases that address further interesting research questions. Moreover, the pathogenetic cross-links between kidney and other organs and apparatus are interesting areas to be explored and often share a common genetic background.
This Special Issue is therefore open to any high-quality scientific contribution addressed at improving the current knowledge on the genetic basis of primitive and secondary renal diseases.
