The people building onconephrology

Onconephrology and MGRS are young fields carried by a relatively small community of clinicians and scientists. This page recognizes the most prolific contributors — measured across 24,027 PubMed articles spanning eight subfields — and maps who works where. Every figure is counted in code from real records; it reflects publication volume, not a ranking of merit or influence.

How this is measured

Eight renal-scoped PubMed queries define the corpus: onco-nephrology, anticancer drug nephrotoxicity, checkpoint-inhibitor kidney injury, MGRS & paraprotein disease, myeloma cast nephropathy, anti-VEGF/TKI renal effects, tumor-lysis & electrolytes, and cellular-therapy renal effects. Every matching article is retrieved in full (no sampling) and its author list parsed. Counts — total papers, first-author, senior-author, per-subfield — are tallied in code, never estimated, from 24,027 real records via the PubMed E-utilities API.

Known limits, stated plainly. Authors are grouped by surname plus given name; PubMed carries no universal author id in these records, so this deterministic key can occasionally split one person across name variants or merge two who share a name. Corresponding authorship is not reliably machine-extractable, so it is omitted rather than invented — first (lead) and last (senior/PI) authorship are the standard proxies. Senior-author credit is withheld on 50+ author consortium papers. This is a measure of publication volume within these queries, which favors long careers and high-output groups; it is recognition, not a verdict on scientific merit or influence.
