Kidney Disease in Children: From Bedside to Bench and Back

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, entitled “Kidney Disease in Children: From Bedside to Bench and Back”, aims to contain valuable articles regarding all aspects of pediatric nephrology, from fundamental research to clinical application. The readers will have the opportunity to become acquainted with the spectrum of all major aspects of pediatric nephrology, from neonatal to adolescent perspectives, from rare genetic disorders to well-known diseases, and from transient acute kidney injury to irreversible end-stage kidney disease. The content should help to show both scientists and clinicians that there is only one way to form a practical strategy: we must start with in-depth analysis of the changeable clinical picture, then bridge clinical to molecular data before coming back to the patient with molecular solutions to clinical challenges. No matter how far we reach, the patient must remain in focus, and will always give us the final answer. Therefore, let these articles give us courage to come back to the bedside and to use the bench in everyday practice for the good of all patients.
