Abstract: Kidney disease frequently occurs among individuals diagnosed with cancer.Given the high incidence of comorbidities in patients treated for active malignancies, it is not surprising that these individuals often develop renal disease, which is common in other hospitalized patients.The function of the nephrologist in those instances differs little in phrases of presence or absence of cancer.On the other hand, cancer patients are characterized by several renal syndromes caused by the cancer itself or by its treatment.In addition, patients undergoing chemotherapy often require dialysis due to acute or chronic kidney disease.
