Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation

Aims & Scope

NDT – Basic and Clinical Science is an official publication of the European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplant Association.

NDT publishes Editorials, Reviews and original research.

Special Report: working group papers, position statements, guidelines papers (on invitation only), NDT Digest (on invitation only) and (only) online E-letters to the Editor commenting on papers previously published in the journal are also considered.

The journal covers the whole territory of nephrology research including experimental work in animal models and molecular biology studies.

In the Clinical Science section we consider clinical trials (RCT have a priority in our journal), observational studies at large and original works on health economy as applied to nephrology.

We aim to cover the whole spectrum of kidney disease research, from clinical nephrology to haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis as well as renal transplantation.
