Welcome from the Chair
On 16 May 2025, MDPI and the Journal of Clinical Medicine (JCM) will host a webinar entitled "Acute Kidney Injury: A Global Challenge." The webinar will highlight the different aspects of care for patients with acute kidney injury both in resource-rich and resource-limited settings.
During this webinar, Dr. Jorge Cerda, a world-renowned scientist focused on optimizing AKI care in underprivileged areas, discusses the differences in AKI care based on resource availability. Then, Dr. Sina Menon, an avid investigator and extraordinary clinician, discusses AKI care within the pediatric population and alludes to the differences in AKI between children and adults globally. Dr. Mitra Nadim, a thought leader in nephrology and particularly in kidney–liver crosstalk, will discuss the paradigm shift in care for patients with liver disease who are dealing with AKI. Finally, Dr. Vedran Premužić, a global leader in advanced treatment options for AKI, discusses the nuances of extracorporeal blood purification strategies and their potential impacts in terms of patient care. The webinar provides an excellent opportunity to interact with these experts, as we plan to host a Q&A section following these presentations.
Please note that this webinar is associated with a Special Issue in the Journal of Clinical Medicine entitled “Acute Kidney Injury: Latest Advances and Prospects”.
Date: 16 May, 2025
Time: 3:00 p.m. CEST |9:00 a.m. EDT
