The study aimed to examine the current state of existing research on the glomerular podocyte endoplasmic reticulum by analyzing articles published in the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) over the past 19 years. We performed the visualization and analysis using various software, including Citespace, VOSviewer, the Metrology Literature Online platform, and the Bibliometrix software package. Our findings indicate that the literature in this field has seen significant growth, reflecting a growing interest in this emerging research area. In this domain, Cybulsky, Andrey V, and Papillon, Joan are the authors with the highest number of publications, while the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology is the journal with the most publications. China leads in the number of publications on glomerular podocyte endoplasmic reticulum research, and McGill University is the institution with the most published research in this area. Research on the endoplasmic reticulum of the glomerular endoplasmic reticulum focus on endoplasmic reticulum stress, diabetic nephropathy, and apoptosis. Emerging research trends in this area will focus on "foot cell apoptosis", "cell signaling pathways", and "autophagy". Future research on the endoplasmic reticulum of podocytes may focus on further exploring the mechanisms of endoplasmic reticulum stress, podocyte apoptosis, identifying specific therapeutic targets, podocyte signaling pathways, and autophagy. In summary, this study investigaed the major research areas, frontiers, and trends in podocyte endoplasmic reticulum research, which are crucial for future studies.
