Summary
This bibliometric study analyzed inflammation research in chronic kidney diseases (CKD). The United States and China lead publications, with research focusing on inflammation mechanisms, biomarkers, and interventions for CKD.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Immunology
- Bibliometrics
Background:
- Chronic kidney diseases (CKD) represent a significant global health challenge.
- Inflammation plays a critical role in the pathogenesis and progression of CKD.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of inflammation-related research in CKD.
- To map the knowledge structure and identify research trends in this field.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive literature search was conducted in the Web of Science database for publications from 2004 to 2023.
- Bibliometric analysis was performed using VOSviewer and CiteSpace to analyze countries, institutions, authors, journals, and keywords.
Main Results:
- A total of 9,287 publications were identified, primarily from the United States and China.
- Key research areas included inflammation mechanisms, biomarkers, and therapeutic interventions for CKD.
- Strong international collaboration, particularly between the US and China, was observed.
Conclusions:
- Bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the CKD and inflammation research landscape.
- Future research should prioritize early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment strategies.
- Identifying novel inflammation-associated biomarkers and therapeutic targets is crucial for advancing CKD care.

2
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

01:25Chronic Kidney Disease I: Introduction
2
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) arises when the kidneys progressively lose their ability to function, ultimately leading to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). At this advanced stage, the kidneys can no longer filter waste or maintain essential body functions, requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) through dialysis or a kidney transplant for survival.Early-stage chronic kidney disease and detection challengesIn CKD's early stages, symptoms often remain absent because healthy nephrons compensate...

01:24Chronic Kidney Disease II: Clinical Manifestations
2
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) progressively impairs multiple body systems due to the accumulation of uremic toxins, which disrupt cellular functions across various organs.Neurologic symptomsNeurologic symptoms often arise early in CKD, as uremic toxin buildup drives changes in cognitive and motor functions. Patients frequently experience fatigue, headache, confusion, difficulty concentrating, and, in severe cases, seizures. Peripheral neuropathy commonly manifests as burning sensations in the...

Accurate diagnosis and effective prevention are critical in managing Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), which is linked to high mortality rates ranging from 10% to 80%. Timely recognition of at-risk patients and careful monitoring can significantly reduce the likelihood of kidney damage.Diagnostic Assessments:The diagnostic process starts with a comprehensive medical history to identify prerenal, intrarenal, and postrenal causes.Prerenal causes, such as dehydration, hypotension, or blood loss, should...

01:22Acute Kidney Injury I: Introduction
2
Introduction:Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) describes a swift decrease in kidney function occurring over hours to days, characterized by the kidneys' failure to remove waste products from the bloodstream. This leads to dangerous complications like metabolic acidosis, fluid overload, and electrolyte imbalances, such as hyperkalemia, which can cause life-threatening arrhythmias. AKI is common in both hospital and outpatient settings, often triggered by dehydration, sepsis, or exposure to nephrotoxic...

Nursing management is essential for preventing complications, maintaining stability, and improving patients' quality of life in chronic kidney disease (CKD). By using a structured approach, nurses help slow CKD progression and support effective patient care.1. Comprehensive patient assessmentEffective management begins with nurses reviewing the patient’s medical history, and identifying key risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, and nephrotoxic drug use. Nurses assess signs of...
