Bibliometric analysis of SGLT2 inhibitor treatment for diabetic kidney disease

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: (163 publications) was the most prolific journal. Co-citation analysis identified 7 distinct clusters (autophagy, ketoacidosis, renal growth, finerenone, hypoxia, glomerular filtration rate, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2) and two core directions: drug action mechanisms and clinical treatment strategies. Burst keyword and keyword analyses revealed the research focus shifted from clinical trial design to cardiorenal protective mechanisms, and recently to precision disease management and combination therapies. Future research should strengthen international collaboration, explore SGLT2 inhibitor-mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist synergies, and design innovative clinical trials with region-specific endpoints.
