Editorial issue 283

Let me start this 283rd editorial of NDT-E by introducing a new, interesting feature of the Clinical Kidney Journal (CKJ). Professor Alberto Ortiz, the Editor in chief of CKJ launches the section "hotspots around the world". In an accompanying editorial ("CKD hotspots around the world : where, why and what the lessons are") he details with C. Martin-Cleary why this new feature is of interest to nephrologists; briefly, we can and should learn from each other, the global diversity may help us to progress globally and locally.

The first 3 papers of this issue are selected among the recently accepted ones in NDT. R. Coppo first reviews "The intestine-renal connection in IgA nephropathy". Next ,J. Jing et al publish on "Prevalence and correlates of gout in a large cohort of patients with chronic kidney disease: the German Chronic Kidney Disease (GCKD) study". M. Zacchia and G. Capasso discuss "The importance of uromodulin as regulator of salt reabsorption along the thick ascending limb".

Let me start this editorial with an unusual feature. The first paper, among the 5 selected for this issue, is in fact the text of a conversation of the Journal of Clinical investigation (JCI) editors with Professor Peter Agre, awarded a few years ago the Chemistry Nobel Prize for his seminal work on aquaporins, the ubiquitous water channels. The content of this interview may be of interest to young nephrologists, especially when Professor Agre describes how his research interests developed over the years.

Editorial issue 280

This editorial starts with a paper highlighting the potential of newer techniques, usually called nowadays the "omics". In a population-based study, YM Gu et al indeed report in NDT on "the urinary proteome as correlate and predictor of renal function in a population study". Interestingly, the proteomic profile of urine not only refined the prediction of CKD progression but also the prediction of CV events.

Let me start this editorial with an important news: the Clinical Kidney Journal (CKJ, formerly NDT Plus) will become an open access Journal from 2015 on! This means that articles will automatically be indexed in Pubmed. In addition the ERA-EDTA Council just decided that publication in CKJ would be free of charge in 2015 ! Professor Alberto Ortiz , the new Editor in chief of CKJ, is working very actively to make CKJ more oriented towards translational studies.

Let us look together at the 5 free-access papers selected for this issue of NDT. The selection again emphasizes the great diversity of topics of interest to nephrologists. The first 3 papers are selected from Kidney Int. The first one, by V Papademetriou et al is entitled "Chronic kidney disease and intensive glycemic control increase cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes".

Editorial issue 276

The 5 papers selected for this 276th issue of NDT-E are all chosen from NDT! In the first one, P.Judge P et al. review "Neprilysin inhibition in chronic kidney disease". This is particularly timely in view of the impressive results of neprilysin inhibition in heart failure, presented at the recent European Society of Cardiology meeting in Barcelona, and published at the same time in the New England Journal of Medicine!

Nephrology is diverse! Look at the four selected papers for this NDT-E issue. In the first paper, C. Zoja et al (from Remuzzi’s group in Bergamo, Italy) review in NDT the topic of "Progression of renal injury toward interstitial inflammation and glomerular sclerosis is dependent on abnormal protein filtration".

The 5 papers selected for this issue of NDT-E again deal with a broad variety of topics. The first one, published by A. Ticinesi et al. in NDT, deals with a seasonal topic:"salt and nephrolithiasis". The summer is indeed a classical trigger of kidney stone attacks! The second paper again deals with salt but in a different way : C. Ince C. and A.B. Groeneveld discuss in Kidney Int."The case for 0.9% NaCl: is the undefendable, defensible"?
