Journal: Glomerular Diseases
Submission Deadline: August 31, 2025
The journal Glomerular Diseases, affiliated with the International Society for Glomerular Diseases (ISGD), is calling for submissions for an article collection on “Pediatric Glomerular Diseases”. We welcome manuscripts that deal with any aspect of glomerular diseases in pediatric patients, including epidemiology, presentation, prognosis, complications, treatment, genetics, systems biology, discovery science, and health outcomes.
There has been a steady increase in the prevalence of glomerular diseases in children and adults over the last 10-20 years and the causes and implications are major areas of investigation. Therapeutic targets and a wide range of renoprotective drugs, including novel disease modifying agents, have been introduced into the care of adults with glomerular disease. There is an urgent need to transfer these impressive gains to the pediatric population so they too can gain full benefit from them. Our understanding of the underlying mechanisms that initiate and perpetuate glomerular diseases has also expanded and this raises the legitimate possibility of precision medicine. Children should not be excluded from these exciting advances. Similarly, patient advocacy groups and medical societies advocate to promote and conduct feasible randomized clinical trials in pediatric nephrology including glomerular diseases.
We hope this article collection will contribute to the knowledge base that will support the urgent need to advance care and outcomes in children with glomerular diseases.
Please select the option “Call for Papers: Pediatric Glomerular Diseases” when submitting your manuscript and mention this Call for Papers in your cover letter.
