《腎臟學雜志》考慮出版同行評審的原始手稿，涉及與腎臟學、透析和移植等廣泛領域相關的臨床和實驗室研究。鼓勵提交涵蓋不同主題和問題（原始調查）的研究手稿。但是，還將考慮對相關主題（審查）、特別關注的臨床病例報告（病例報告）和新的正在進行的試驗（研究方案）方案的簡要報告進行全面審查。最后，還鼓勵提交有關研究技術或方法方面的文章（方法和程序），這些文章可以通過jnonline（期刊的網絡版）提供的多媒體設施更詳盡和準確地記錄下來。

The Journal of Nephrology considers the publication of peer-reviewed original manuscripts dealing with both clinical and laboratory investigations of relevance to the broad fields of nephrology, dialysis and transplantation. Submission of research manuscripts covering diverse topics and problems (Original Investigations) is encouraged. However, comprehensive reviews on relevant topics (Reviews), reports of clinical cases of special interest (Case Reports), and brief reports on the protocols of new ongoing trials (Research Protocols) will also be considered. Finally, the submission of articles on technical or methodological aspects of research (Methods and Procedures), which can be more exhaustively and accurately documented through the multimedia facilities offered by the JNonline (the WEB edition of the journal), is also encouraged.
