Journal of Renal and Hepatic Disorders (eISSN: 2207-3744) provides an interdisciplinary platform for the publication of research articles on disorders of the kidneys, and the liver. It is also an avenue for the discussion of how disorders of one organ influence the other. Chronic liver disease is associated with primary and secondary kidney diseases. Similarly, renal disorders are associated with hepatic disorders. Hepatorenal syndrome is now established as a clinical entity, and renohepatic crosstalk is a rapidly evolving entity. The journal aims to be a scholarly forum for the exchange of knowledge which will enable scientists and clinicians to develop better treatment strategies for the management of renal and hepatic disorders.
