The authors' novel 3-stage approach to a clinicogenomic data set identified 3 novel genetic predictors of CKD in type 2 diabetes. Pulmonary congestion common in nephrotic syndrome Though patients with NS develop edema that can involve vital organs, it had been assumed that the lungs are protected from NS-induced edema. The authors used chest ultrasound and transthoracic impedance to measure lung water and found asymptomatic pulmonarycongestion is pervasive in patients with NS. AT1R blockade stops AKI transition to CKD This provocative study suggests that treatment with angiotensin receptor blockers prior to AKI may be a viable strategy to prevent subsequent CKD. Kallistatin prevents diabetic nephropathy in mice Yiu and co-workers tested whether inducing increased kallistatin expression in kidneys can protect against development of nephropathy in the db/db mouse model of type 2 diabetes. The data demonstrate that strategies to increase renal kallistatin expression may be a novel therapeutic option to prevent diabetic kidney injury.

Read the full press release. I am delighted that ISN managed to find a great publisher in Elsevier. Considering the big changes happening in the field of medical publishing, it is very reassuring that Kidney International is such an attractive journal to Elsevier. ISN is proud to have such an important pillar to its leading Global Education portfolio, currently delivering tailored education to a broad range of kidney professionals worldwide, through publications, meetings and a content-rich online portal. David Harris, ISN Global Education Director About KI Kidney International (KI) is the official journal of the International Society of Nephrology. Under the editorial leadership of Dr. Detlef O. Schlöndorff (USA), KI is one of the most cited journals in nephrology and widely regarded as the world's premier journal on the development and consequences of kidney disease. KI is peer-reviewed and publishes original research in both basic science and clinical medicine. These include the latest clinical studies on emerging developments in renal medicine and the highest level of original research studies in therapy and epidemiology of acute and chronic kidney failure, as well as their translational aspects and genetic basis. In addition relevant aspects of renal physiology, cell biology, biochemistry, pathology, immunology, morphology and new technological developments are reported with the over-all aim of informing the renal researcher and the practicing nephrologist on all aspects of renal research. The journal reflects the field through critical reviews and original articles, commentaries, editorial updates on recent developments and news features, recommendations and guidelines resulting from expert consensus meetings, aspects of nephrology from the developing world, policy issues, remarkable images, and problem-focused articles for the diagnosis and treatment of renal patients. Kidney International is published monthly.
