• provide a platform for opinions on major issues for nephrologists in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

The HKJN publishes both research papers as well as educational material, including:

• Original Articles: clinical or laboratory studies in nephrology, including, but not limited to, the pathogenesis and treatment of kidney disease, hypertension, acid-base and electrolyte disorders, dialysis, urological diseases, and kidney transplantation.
• Short Communications: research papers that describe preliminary but novel research findings that are not sufficiently substantial for an Original Article.
• Case Reports: interesting cases that highlight uncommon diseases, novel presentations, or cutting-edge therapeutic strategies.
• Case Vignettes: simple cases with interesting clinical images or laboratory results that are of educational value.

The HKJN also publishes invited review articles, editorials, and regular reports from the Hong Kong Renal Registry.
