CJASN is published bimonthly and will be published every month starting in January 2009. "CJASN focuses on clinical issues. This serves a dire need in the nephrology community," according to a 2007 readership survey respondent. Topics: clinical nephrology, renal pathophysiology, body fluids, electrolyte and acid-based metabolism, hypertension, acute/critical care nephrology, dialysis, diagnosis, therapeutics, clinicopathology, ethics, controversy, economics, politics and renal transplantation.
Nephrology Self-Assessment Program
NephSAP regularly and continually provides a vehicle that is useful for clinical nephrologists who seek to renew and refresh their clinical knowledge and diagnostic and therapeutic skills. This publication provides a vehicle for clinical nephrologists who seek to renew their knowledge, and diagnostic and therapeutic skills, and provides Continuing Medical Education and Maintenance of Certification credits. NephSAP consists of a series of challenging, clinically oriented questions based on case vignettes and a detailed syllabus that reviews recent publications. Taken together, these two parts should assist individual clinicians in the self-assessment of their strengths and weaknesses in the broad domain of nephrology. NephSAP is published bimonthly with approximately 420 pages per year. Topics: glomerular diseases, hypertension, acute kidney injuries, chronic kidney diseases, dialysis, transplantation, renal bone disorders, pediatric and interventional nephrology, renal imaging and more.
