The International Society of Nephrology announced a new open-access, peer-reviewed journal—Kidney International Case Reports (KICR)—designed to publish high-quality case reports, short clinical communications and practice-oriented reviews from across global nephrology. KICR aims to give clinicians and trainees a rapid, accessible venue for real-world observations: rare disease phenotypes, unusual therapeutic responses, procedural complications, region-specific clinical challenges and instructive transplant cases. The editorial leadership combines international representation to encourage submissions from LMICs and under-represented regions; the open-access format widens readership and educational reach. The journal will likely accelerate dissemination of clinically relevant case learning, generate hypotheses for larger studies, and support capacity building by sharing practical solutions from resource-limited settings. KICR can become a teaching resource for rounds and CPD and may complement traditional research journals by translating bedside observations into broader lessons. Submission guidelines are available on the ISN site and the inaugural issues are expected to appear shortly.
