Viruses and Diseases of the Kidneys

[摘要] Virus-induced kidney diseases are common, are increasing in frequency, have different mechanisms of injury, and are intensely studied because of the morbidity and mortality that are associated with them, yet these diseases are less familiar to clinical nephrologists than many other renal disorders. This supplement of CJASN, the result of two symposia at the 2006 annual meeting of the American Society of Nephrology in which investigators with considerable and varied interest in viruses and diseases of the kidneys discussed their work, is intended to increase the understanding among clinical nephrologists of this interesting group of disorders.
