The journal focuses on nephrology and dialysis, examining chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its management. It covers therapeutic interventions such as SGLT2 inhibitors for kidney stone disease and CKD progression, and explores the impact of environmental factors like micro- and nanoplastics on renal health. The journal also investigates patient-centered care, including home dialysis modalities, the use of extended reality (XR) and music therapy for symptom management and well-being in dialysis patients, and dietary interventions for phosphorus control. Additionally, it addresses aspects of patient experience, such as transportation insecurity and psychological support, and the prevention of complications like herpes zoster in CKD patients.
