| Summary: | Objectives Onconephrology is an expanding subspecialty focused on the management of cancer patients with renal injury. This study used a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to emphasize the need for cooperation between oncologists and nephrologists, exploring current trends and future research areas in onconephrology.Methods Relevant literature on onconephrology published between 1 January 2000 and 27 April 2024 was retrieved from the Science Citation Index Expanded of the Web of Science Core Collection, followed by manual screening. Bibliometric analyses were performed using CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Bibliometrix software.Results A total of 1,853 publications, including 1,647 articles and 206 reviews, by 11,606 authors from 2,757 institutions in 73 countries, were analyzed. Annual publications generally follow a steadily increasing trend, ranging from 25 to 161 documents. The United States (n = 464), The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (n = 39), Meletios A. Dimopoulos (n = 21), and Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation (n = 35) were the most productive country, institution, author, and journal, respectively. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, glomerular filtration rate, and cisplatin were clusters of highly cited references after 2015. Oxaliplatin, calcium, open-label, and thrombotic microangiopathy were trending topics after 2020. Outcome, acute kidney injury, immunotherapy, and chronic kidney disease were keyword bursts that persisted through 2024.Conclusion Current research of onconephrology is focusing on chemotherapeutic nephrotoxicity, kidney function assessment, dosing of chemotherapeutic agents in chronic kidney disease, glomerular disease in cancer, immunotherapy, and electrolyte disturbances. Future directions in this field include clinical trials and thrombotic microangiopathy. |
