Clinical Updates of Diagnosis and Treatment in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Dear Colleagues,

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a growing global health challenge, affecting approximately 15% of the population and contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Its close association with comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, and mineral as well as bone diorders, in addition to its role as a major cardiovascular risk factor from the early stages of the disease, underscore the need for early and effective diagnosis as well as clinical intervention.

The aim of this Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine is to showcase cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews focused on the diagnosis and management of CKD without renal replacement therapy across its full clinical aspects. We welcome submissions addressing key areas, including, but not limited to, hypertensive and diabetic kidney disease, cardiorenal syndrome, glomerulonephritis, and genetic renal diseases.
