Abstract

Objective: To conduct a bibliometric analysis providing a multidimensional assessment of the research status and development trends in the application of physiologically based pharmacokinetic PBPK models to renal tissue. This aims to offer novel insights for the clinical utilization of PBPK models in addressing kidney-related issues.Methods: The Web of Science core collection database was systematically searched for articles on the application of PBPK model in the field of kidney from January 1 2004 to December 31 2024. Bibliometric methods were employed utilizing visualization tools VOSviewer CiteSpace Scimago Graphica Pajek to conduct an in-depth analysis of country/region distribution institutions journals author cooperation and keyword co-occurrence. Corresponding knowledge maps were constructed.Results: This study included 780 articles. The annual number of published articles exhibited a consistent upward trend from 2004 to 2024. In terms of the number of published articles the top three countries were the United States China and the United Kingdom the most prolific author was Glatting G 20 articles); Certara UK Ltd 37 articles and Drug Metabolism and Disposition 43 articles were the most prolific institution and journal in this field. Keyword analysis revealed enduring research hotspots including renal clearance nephrotoxicity drug exposure risk assessment and tissue distribution. Current research frontiers primarily focus on drug-drug interactions pharmacodynamics medication safety and chronic kidney disease.Conclusion: Research interest in the application of PBPK models to renal tissue has steadily increased between 2004 and 2024. Future research directions and hotspots are anticipated to center on applications in drug-drug interactions medication safety and chronic kidney disease.
