Journal overview

  Renal Failure is an open access journal that publishes on acute renal injury and its consequences.

The primary focus of Renal Failure is acute kidney injury (AKI). This includes the basic sciences and those derived from human studies on the subject. There is a critical need to support the drive for research in this field. The high mortality of AKI in the critically ill is unacceptable. The journal aims to publish methods that have demonstrated improved outcomes of AKI in the critically ill and related research.

Renal Failure also publishes advances in the fields of chronic renal failure, hypertension and renal transplantation. The journal aims to bring together clinical and experimental aspects of renal failure to present timely, practical information on a variety of topics:

  • Pathology and pathophysiology of acute renal failure
  • Nephrotoxicity of drugs and other substances
  • Prevention, treatment, and therapy of renal failure
  • Transplantation, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus in association with renal failure

Renal Failure accepts clinical studies, laboratory studies, brief reports, letters to the editor, research letters, state-of-the-art review articles and systematic reviews for publication.

The journal operates a single-anonymized peer review policy.

All articles will be made freely and permanently available online through gold open access publication.
