Submission Deadline: July 31, 2024
Kidney stone disease is a multifactorial disease that has a high prevalence and recurrence rate. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to pathophysiology. Recurrent stone disease is associated with an increased risk of progressing to chronic kidney disease and also with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Recent advances in genetics, in our understanding of metabolic and nutritional factors, and important clinical trials have produced new insights into the pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of stone disease.
This call for papers aims to collect research articles and reviews describing advances in the field of kidney stone disease and its relationship to other conditions such as cardiovascular or metabolic disorders. Topics of particular interest are:
- Epidemiology of kidney stone disease and its associated socioeconomic costs
- Genetics of kidney stone disease
- Cellular mechanisms of crystal formation and intrarenal processes
- Diagnosis of stone disease and underlying biochemical traits
- Nutrition and kidney stone disease
- Microbiome and kidney stone disease
- Prevention of stone disease
- Therapies of stone disease
Please select the option “Call for Papers: Kidney Stone Disease” when submitting your manuscript and mention this Call for Papers in your cover letter.
