- Title
Acute Kidney Injury in Patients With Cancer.
- Authors
Perazella, Mark A.; Rosner, Mitchell H.
- Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in cancer patients and occurs in up to 30% of patients during their disease course. Multiple myeloma, leukemia/ lymphoma, renal cell carcinoma, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are commonly associated with the development of AKI. Drugs used to treat various malignancies are also a common and notable cause of AKI in this population. Nephrology consultation is important to ensure proper and rapid diagnosis, as well as appropriate therapy and follow-up. In particular, knowledge of the nephrotoxicity of the various anticancer regimens employed is critical. This is a rapidly evolving area that requires continuous updating as new drugs are released into clinical practice and nephrotoxicity is observed.
