Kidney & blood pressure research (Kidney Blood Press Res)

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 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, editorials translating basic science into patient-oriented research and disease, in-depth reviews, and regular special topic sections, ‘Kidney and Blood Pressure Research’ is an important source of information for researchers in nephrology, cardiovascular and internal medicine as well as transplantation.
