Challenge to the Future: Advances in post-COVID-19 intensive care Nephrology

Entering the third decade of the 21st century, the field of Critical Care Nephrology has witnessed remarkable advancements, particularly in Acute Kidney Injury research. Spearheaded by pioneers like Professor Piergiorgio Messa and Professor Cantaluppi, this editorial initiative seeks to capture and build upon these significant strides. Recent achievements have not only propelled the field forward but also opened new avenues for inquiry and innovation.



This Research Topic aims to highlight the transformative progress within Critical Care Nephrology over the past decade, enriched further by insights gained during the Covid-19 pandemic. It seeks to delineate the evolving challenges and opportunities, aiming to synthesize the experiences of researchers and clinicians alike. By discussing these dimensions, the initiative intends to delineate a comprehensive view of the field’s evolution and trigger a discourse about future directions and potential breakthroughs.



To gather further insights in recent developments and major accomplishments, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:



State-of-the-art technologies in nephrology care

Impact of Covid-19 on kidney disease management

Advancements in treatment protocols for Acute Kidney Injury
