Onconephrology

The field of onconephrology encompasses the broad diapason of kidney disorders that can arise in cases with cancer. Beyond cancers of the kidney, nonrenal cancers can have renal complications, and anticancer curatives, including chemotherapy, targeted anticancer agents and immunotherapy can have adverse renal goods, leading to the development of fluid, electrolyte and acid – base diseases, as well as acute kidney injury and habitual kidney complaint. Also, renal impairment can alter the excretion and metabolism of anticancer agents, challenging cure adaptation. A clearer understanding of cancers and anticancer curatives that affect the kidney is essential to ameliorate patient care and to grease the development of new, nontoxic treatments. This series of papers aims to examine the complex relationship between cancer and the kidney across the diapason of onconephrology.
