Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of dialysis is currently undergoing a transformative period, marked by the emergence of novel drugs and innovative treatment modalities. This Special Issue endeavours to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements and emerging trends in dialysis care. We invite original research articles, reviews, and expert opinions that explore the efficacy, safety, and implications of these new therapies.
Topics to be explored:
- Innovative dialysis techniques: investigating recent developments in hemodiafiltration, expanded haemodialysis, and other novel dialysis methods, including incremental peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis, on patient outcome.
- Drug therapies: analysing the impact of recently approved drugs on the treatment of anaemia including HIF-PHIs, anti-inflammation ferric-based phosphate binders, new vitamin D formulations, calcimimetics, and their cardiac pleiotropic effects (a drug specific for pruritus).
- Comparative studies and patient-centred outcomes: welcoming submissions that evaluate the comparative effectiveness and patient-centred outcomes of different dialysis treatments.
The aim of this Special Issue is to report, discuss, and evaluate the efficacy, safety, and clinical impact of these drugs, utilising the currently available data and insights from leading experts in the field of dialysis treatment.
