 Because an author of this manuscript is an editor for AJKD, the peer-review and decision-making processes were handled entirely by an outside editor, Paul Muntner, PhD, MHS, Tulane University, who served as Acting Editor-in-Chief. Details of the journal’s procedures for potential editor conflicts are given in the Editorial Policies section of the AJKD website.
