The Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN) is the leading kidney journal in the world. JASN represents an outstanding synthesis of cutting-edge basic research, clinical epidemiology, clinical research, meta-analysis, relevant editorials, perspectives, and timely and important reviews. Editorials are written to distill and elucidate the key findings of the parent article. JASN also encourages submission of Letters to the Editor about recently published articles. Similarly, the reviews are invariably erudite and comprehensive in their coverage of a given field.  JASN has been published monthly since July 1990.

Kidney Diseases aims to provide a platform for the communication of novel research findings from both clinical science and basic research and covers the entire spectrum of nephrological disorders. The journal has a particular interest in publishing research that supports communication and exchange of knowledge between East and West.
The Basic Research Section includes experimental work in animal models and in vitro. Clinical trials, observational studies, and other original clinical research work related to kidney diseases are the focus of the Clinical Science Section. Moreover, important studies on hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are also considered. Invited review articles and editorials by renowned experts and high-quality rapid communications round off the contents of the journal.

Kidney International (KI) offers features with premier benefits for both readers and authors. Here you will find some of the most cited original articles in nephrology, sharply focused reviews, latest imaging techniques, controversial discussions and much more.Kidney International devotes itself to renal research. It aims to inform the renal researcher and the practicing nephrologist on all aspects of renal research. These include: * The Kidney Podcast featuring the latest in research and practice. * The latest clinical studies on emerging developments in renal medicine. * The highest level of original research studies in clinical and basic renal research. * In each issue some of these articles will be highlighted by commentaries that aim to put these studies in the appropriate context. These will form a research tool for clinical and basic investigators. * Editorials that highlight important issues in international nephrology * Nephrology sans Frontieres - occasional short articles that discuss matters of local interest to nephrologists around the world, but which we feel need to be known by nephrologists world-wide * Minireviews on hot topics and in depth reviews about major issues in renal research. * Controversial discussions on renal therapeutics or diagnosis written by two opposing authorities * Nephrology Images which are presentations of interesting images in renal pathology, radiology chosen for their illustrative nature or simply for their esthetic qualities. * Issues of importance to the international renal community including the politics of funding; of organ transplantation, of adequacy of dialysis, of world-wide affordability of end stage renal care and many other topical issues. * Journal Club are synopses that bring you the latest research highlights from across a wide spectrum of journals in fields relevant to renal research.

Kidney International Reports, an official journal of the International Society of Nephrology, is a peer-reviewed, open access journal devoted to the publication of leading research and developments related to kidney disease. 

Kidney Research and Clinical Practice (formerly The Korean Journal of Nephrology), the official journal of the Korean Society of Nephrology, is an international, peer-reviewed journal published in English. To provide a venue for dissemination of knowledge and discussion of topics related to basic renal science and clinical practice, the journal considers articles on all aspects of clinical nephrology and hypertension, as well as related molecular genetics, anatomy, pathology, physiology, pharmacology, and immunology. In particular, the journal focuses on translational renal research that helps bridge laboratory discovery with the diagnosis and treatment of human kidney disease. Authors are encouraged to submit reports on topics in basic science with possible clinical applicability and papers on the pathophysiological basis of disease processes of the kidney. Apart from high-quality original research, the journal publishes invited reviews on up-to-date topics and case reports of special interest. There is one volume and 4 issues per year beginning in March.

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 and Blood Pressure Research is an important

Nature Reviews' clinical content is written by internationally renowned clinical academics and researchers and targeted towards readers in the medical sciences, from postgraduate level upwards. While intended to be read by practicing doctors, researchers and academics within a specialty, we aim to make all our articles accessible to readers working in any medical discipline.In-depth Reviews present authoritative, up-to-date information on a topic, placing it in the context of a field's history and development. Topical discussion and opinions are proffered in Perspectives and News & Views articles, and in the Research Highlights section we filter primary research from a range of specialty and general medical journals. Finally, Case Studies enable authors to present novel and interesting cases and discuss the most useful features to bear in mind for treating future cases.Subjects covered * Acid-base, fluid and electrolyte disorders * Acute renal failure * Assessment of kidney function * Calcium magnesium and renal calculi * Diabetic nephropathy * Dialysis (including hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, continuous renal replacement) * Genetics of renal disease * Glomerular diseases (including glomerulonephritis, FSGS, cryoglobulinemia) * Health economics * Hypertension * Imaging and radiology * Interstitial nephritis * Oncology * Other * Pathology * Pediatric nephrology * Progression of renal disease * Renal pharmacology * Risk factors and epidemiology * Transplant * Tropical nephrology * Vasculitis.

Nefrología is the official publication of the Spanish Society of Nephrology. The Journal publishes articles on basic or clinical research relating to nephrology, arterial hypertension, dialysis and kidney transplants. It is governed by the peer review system and all original papers are subject to internal assessment and external reviews. NEFROLOGIA follows the publication requirements of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

This highly respected and frequently cited journal is a prime source of information in the area of fetal and neonatal research. Original papers present research on all aspects of neonatology, fetal medicine and developmental biology. These papers encompass both basic science and clinical research including randomized trials, novel observational studies and epidemiology. Basic science research covers molecular biology, molecular genetics, physiology, biochemistry and pharmacology in fetal and neonatal life. In addition to the classic features the journal accepts papers for sections "Research Briefings", "Sources of Neonatal Medicine" (historical pieces) and "Global Neonatal Research". Papers reporting the results of animal studies should be based upon hypotheses that relate to developmental processes or disorders in the human fetus or neonate.
