There is a notable trend towards studying long-term outcomes and quality of life for patients with chronic kidney disease and those undergoing dialysis or transplantation. - Infectious Disease and Kidney Health:
Research exploring the intersection of infectious diseases, particularly in the context of COVID-19, and their impact on kidney health is gaining increasing attention.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Dialysis Techniques:
Research specifically centered on established dialysis techniques, such as conventional hemodialysis, appears to be declining as newer modalities and technologies gain prominence. - Generalized Risk Factors for Kidney Disease:
There is a noticeable reduction in studies that focus broadly on traditional risk factors for kidney disease without incorporating more nuanced analyses or novel biomarkers. - Basic Science Studies without Clinical Relevance:
Basic science research that lacks immediate clinical application or relevance to patient care may be receiving less attention, as the journal shifts towards more translational and clinical investigations. - Single-Center Studies:
The trend of single-center studies is waning in favor of multicenter, collaborative research efforts that yield more generalizable and impactful findings.
