BMC Nephrology invites submissions to our Collection on Personalized approaches to managing hypertension in kidney patients.
Hypertension is a common comorbidity in kidney patients, contributing to the progression of renal disease and increasing the risk of cardiovascular events. Personalized approaches to managing hypertension in this population have gained attention due to the variability in treatment responses and the need to optimize patient outcomes. This Collection gathers research exploring personalized and precision medicine strategies for the regulation of blood pressure in kidney patients, addressing the pathophysiology of hypertension in the context of renal disease and considering acute and chronic kidney injury.
Advancing our collective understanding in this area is crucial for improving the management of hypertension in kidney patients, as it may lead to tailored treatment approaches that consider individual patient characteristics, such as renal function, genetic factors, and comorbidities. Recent advances have highlighted the potential of personalized treatment strategies, including the use of novel antihypertensive agents, individualized dietary interventions, and the integration of digital health technologies for remote monitoring and management of blood pressure in kidney patients.
Looking ahead, continued research in this area holds the potential for the development of innovative biomarker-based approaches for predicting treatment responses, the identification of novel therapeutic targets specific to renal hypertension, and the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms for personalized risk prediction and treatment optimization in kidney patients with hypertension.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Personalized medicine approaches for hypertension in kidney patients
- Pathophysiology of hypertension in renal disease
- Long-term regulation of blood pressure in kidney patients
- Precision medicine strategies for chronic kidney disease and hypertension
- Role of gut microbiota in the management of hypertension in kidney patients
- Impact of socioeconomic factors on personalized hypertension management in kidney patients
- Novel biomarkers for predicting treatment responses in hypertensive kidney patients
- Integrative omics approaches for understanding individualized responses to antihypertensive therapies in kidney patients
- The influence of environmental factors on personalized hypertension management in kidney patients
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health and Wellbeing.
