kidney-international
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 **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** aid; it is not clinical or regulatory advice and does not replace the journal's current instructions for authors. Before submitting, re-check the live Kidney International author instructions. ## When to trigger - The author

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill kidney-international --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 984 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
