Onconephrology: Core Curriculum 2023
Onconephrology focuses on management of kidney disease in cancer, which manifests itself in a variety of clinical syndromes, including acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, proteinuria, and electrolyte disorders. Many of these syndromes result from cancer treatments including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, chimeric antigen receptor T cells, and stem cell transplant. Others are due to kidney-specific effects of the cancer, as seen with monoclonal gammopathy or glomerular diseases associated with malignancy.
