Use when targeting Kidney International or deciding whether a nephrology or hypertension clinical/translational study fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit with a global ISN perspective, the evidence and mechanistic bar, reporting-guideline and registration requirements, ISN house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics. Venue-fit aid only, not clinical advice.

# Kidney International (kidney-international)

## Journal positioning

Kidney International is the flagship journal of the International Society of Nephrology
(ISN), publishing high-impact nephrology and hypertension research with an explicitly
**global, international perspective** across clinical and translational science: kidney
disease epidemiology and trials, dialysis and transplantation, and mechanistic kidney
biology with clear human relevance. Its defining expectation is a **clinically or
translationally important advance in kidney health that matters across diverse health
systems and populations**, with strong representation of global-health, epidemiologic,
and outcomes nephrology alongside disease mechanism — not a narrow single-center series
or a basic experiment with no human anchor. Compared with the U.S.-society sibling, KI
leans toward international clinical breadth and translational relevance. This skill is a
