CENTRAL ASIAN JOURNAL OF NEPHROLOGY

The Central Asian Journal of Nephrology (ISSN 3105-4145) aims to provide a platform for the dissemination of high-quality research, clinical studies and expert opinions in the field of nephrology. It is dedicated to improving the understanding, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases in Central Asia and beyond. The journal aims to promote collaboration between researchers, clinicians and healthcare professionals to address the unique challenges in nephrology faced by the Central Asian region, because of its same cultural and environment factors, genetic background and similar healthcare models.

 

Call for Publications

The Central Asian Journal of Nephrology invites researchers from all over the world, clinicians, healthcare professionals, and policymakers to submit manuscripts that contribute to advancing knowledge and practice in nephrology, accommodating its regional focus and the specialized field of nephrology, while ensuring relevance to both local and international audiences.

We welcome original research, reviews, case reports, and methodological papers that explore all aspects of kidney health and disease. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Prevention, diagnosis, and management of acute and chronic kidney diseases
  • Dialysis and renal transplantation
  • Basic science research in nephrology
  • Epidemiological studies on kidney disease burden
  • Public health and policy innovations in nephrology
  • Applications of data science, digital health, and AI in nephrology
  • Real-world evidence, patient-centered outcomes, and healthcare equity

The journal seeks to disseminate high-quality, interdisciplinary research that enhances clinical practice, informs policy, and promotes kidney health across Central Asia and beyond.

We encourage submissions that reflect regional insights, cross-national collaborations, and innovative approaches to addressing the growing challenges of kidney diseases.

Submit your manuscript today and join us in shaping the future of nephrology in Central Asia and beyond.

Original Article
A Study of Glomerular Filtration and Kidney Volume in Patients with Alcohol Dependence
Central Asian Journal of Nephrology, 2(1), 2026, cajn011, https://doi.org/10.63946/cajn/18271
ABSTRACT: Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate serum creatinine as a marker of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in excessive alcohol use people, and to determine correlation between total kidney volume (TKV) and other relevant factors.  
Methods: In this study, 95 people were examined 2025. We measured serum creatinine based GFR using the MDRD formula. Biochemical analysis and serum creatinine were evaluated using a fully automatic analyzer. TKV was determined by ellipsoid method using 2D sonographic transducer.
Result: The mean subject age was 52±10, BMI 25±4 and male female ratio was 4:1. Mean arterial pressure was 108±14 mmHg, eGFR 90±19 ml/min/1.73m2.  Age, body mass index (BMI) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were inversely correlated with eGFR (P<0.01) and no difference between male and female recipients. There is no statistically significant correlation between TKV and eGFR. BMI and arterial pressure was correlated with TKV (P<0.01). Mean eGFR and TKV was calculated into 4 groups of 10-year intervals, that eGFR was decreased significantly with age groups.  
Conclusion: According to our research, one of the optimal methods for assessing kidney function is the creatinine-based calculation method, and long-term excessive alcohol consumption is a risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD).
