Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a critical health concern worldwide, affecting patients across diverse clinical settings and contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Despite extensive research, substantial challenges remain in understanding the complex pathophysiological mechanisms, developing effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, and mitigating the long-term consequences of AKI. The multifaceted nature of AKI, encompassing varied etiologies and clinical manifestations, underscores the need for integrative research approaches that span from molecular and cellular studies to clinical applications.

This collection seeks to consolidate contemporary research and advanced AKI methodologies, encompassing preclinical and clinical investigations. By bringing together studies that address diagnostic advancements, therapeutic innovations, mechanistic explorations, and translational research, this collection aims to foster a comprehensive understanding of AKI. Contributions are encouraged from diverse disciplines, encompassing experimental models, clinical protocols, and multidisciplinary frameworks, to provide a holistic perspective on AKI research and management.

We welcome contributions of method articles, research articles, case reports, and review articles. Overall, this collection will serve as a critical resource for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals, promoting the dissemination of novel techniques, experimental findings, and clinical insights. By encouraging the exchange of knowledge across disciplines, this collection will advance the development of more effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, ultimately contributing to improved patient outcomes in AKI.
