KIDNEY & BLOOD PRESSURE RESEARCH

Reflecting a new broader scope, this journal comprises both clinical and basic studies at the interface of nephrology and cardiovascular research. The topics to be covered include the structural organization and biochemistry of the normal and diseased kidney; the physiology and pathophysiology of glomerular and tubular function, of endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cell function and of blood pressure control, as well as the molecular biology of transporters. Also discussed are the physiology and biochemistry of renal hormones; the molecular biology, genetics and clinical course of renal disease and hypertension, and the renal elimination, action and clinical use of drugs. Featuring peer-reviewed original papers, reviews, and regular special topic sections, ëKidney & Blood Pressure Researchí will be an important new source of information for researchers in nephrology, cardiovascular research, internal medicine, transplantation and urology. An international journal on renal and cardiovascular research Aims and Scope This journal comprises both clinical and basic studies at the interface of nephrology, hypertension and cardiovascular research. The topics to be covered include the structural organization and biochemistry of the normal and diseased kidney, the molecular biology of transporters, the physiology and pathophysiology of glomerular filtration and tubular transport, endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cell function and blood pressure control, as well as water, electrolyte and mineral metabolism. Also discussed are the (patho)physiology and (patho) biochemistry of renal hormones, the molecular biology, genetics and clinical course of renal disease and hypertension, the renal elimination, action and clinical use of drugs, as well as dialysis and transplantation. Featuring peer-reviewed original papers, editorials translating basic science into patient-oriented research and disease, in depth reviews, and regular special topic sections, ''''''''Kidney & Blood Pressure Research'''''''' is an important source of information for researchers in nephrology and cardiovascular medicine.
