Mailing address for courier deliveries only: Allschwilerstr. 10 C4055 Basel (Switzerland)
Manuscripts should be submitted in quadruplicate (with four sets of illustrations of which one is an original; final high-resolution pictures need only be sent after acceptance of the paper) together with a soft copy on disc. The manuscript should match the electronic file exactly. For details please refer to Electronic Submission. Editorial work and copy-editing will be executed from the electronic version of your manuscript.
Rapid Communications
Manuscripts intended for rapid communication must present new findings of sufficient importance to justify their accelerated appearance. Double-spaced manuscripts cannot exceed 5½ pages, including figures, tables and references; longer manuscripts will be returned. Decision will be made within 2 weeks after receipt of the manuscript. It will be published in the next possible issue following acceptance.
Conditions
All manuscripts are subject to editorial review.
Manuscripts are received with the explicit understanding that they are not under simultaneous consideration by any other publication. Submission of an article for publication implies transfer of the copyright from the author to the publisher upon acceptance. Accepted papers become the permanent property of ¡®Kidney & Blood Pressure Research and may not be reproduced by any means, in whole or in part, without the written consent of the publisher.
It is the author's responsibility to obtain permission to reproduce illustrations, tables, etc. from other publications.
Arrangement
The authors may indicate whether the manuscript belongs to: basic science clinical nephrology ¨ blood pressure research
Title page: The first page of each paper should indicate the title, the authors?names, the institute where the work was conducted, and a short title for use as running head. NB: Authors wishing to preserve the phonetic meaning of diacritics (PubMed reduces diacritics to their root characters) must spell their names accordingly when submitting manuscripts (e.g. Müller should be Mueller).
Full address: The exact postal address of the corresponding author complete with postal code must be given at the bottom of the title page. Please also supply phone and fax numbers, as well as e-mail address.
Key words: For indexing purposes, a list of 3-10 key words in English is essential.
Abstract: Each paper needs an abstract of up to 200 words. It should be structured as follows: Background/Aims: What is the major problem that prompted the study Methods: How was the study performed Results: Most important findings Conclusion: Most important conclusion
Footnotes: Avoid footnotes.
Tables and illustrations: Tables and illustrations (both numbered in Arabic numerals) should be prepared on separate pages. Tables require a heading and figures a legend, also prepared on a separate page. For the reproduction of illustrations, only good drawings and original photographs can be accepted; negatives or photocopies cannot be used.

The allotted size of a paper is equal to approx. 20 manuscript pages (including tables, illustrations and references). The inability to pay the additional page charges will not prejudice publication of the paper. This will be decided by the Editor.
Proofs
Unless indicated otherwise, proofs are sent to the first-named author and should be returned with the least possible delay. Alterations made in proofs, other than the correction of printer's errors, are charged to the author.
