A bibliometric analysis of publications in the journal Renal Failure between 1992 and 2021 was conducted by researchers at Asia University in Taiwan. The study compared publication indicators such as total articles, independent and collaborative publications, and citation indicators to assess the performance of countries, institutes, and authors. The findings revealed that China published the most articles and reviews in the journal, while the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan ranked highest in several publication indicators. The most popular research topics in the journal were related to hemodialysis, chronic kidney disease, and acute kidney injury. The study also found a limited relationship between highly cited papers and the journal's impact factor contributors. [Extracted from the article]

A recent report from researchers at the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University in China discusses the progress made in understanding the role of autophagy in the development of diabetes nephropathy (DN), a common complication of diabetes and a leading cause of end-stage renal disease. The researchers highlight the complex nature of DN and its relationship to autophagy, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, inflammatory reactions, and the renin angiotensin aldosterone system. They also suggest that targeting the autophagy pathway to restore its activity may have a nephroprotective effect. This article provides a valuable overview of recent research on autophagy in the pathogenesis of DN. [Extracted from the article]
