The purpose of Advances Chronic Kidney Disease is to provide in-depth, scholarly review articles about the care and management
of persons with early kidney disease and kidney failure, as well as those at risk for kidney disease. Emphasis is on articles related
to the early identification of kidney disease; prevention or delay in progression of kidney disease; the multidisciplinary case management
of patients with chronic kidney disease or kidney failure, organ effects of kidney disease; epidemiology and outcomes research in chronic
kidney disease; benefits and complications of the primary treatment methods, dialysis and transplantation; technical aspects of the delivery
of uremia therapy; care of the critically ill patient with kidney failure in the intensive care setting; new therapies for kidney failure;
and health care research in chronic kidney disease. The full spectrum of basic science through clinical care is covered in these reviews.
Clinical care issues stress the multidisciplinary team approach to the care of kidney patients. Topics covered will be of interest to
practicing nephrologists (pediatric and adult), nephrology fellows (pediatric and adult), nurses, technicians, dietitians, and social
workers caring for patients with kidney disease. Each bimonthly issue of Advances in Chronic Kidney Disease presents focused
review articles devoted to a single topic of current importance in clinical nephrology and related fields.
