Onconephrology: Cancer, Its Treatments, and the Kidneys
Course Description
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Patients with cancer who have kidney-related issues have a worse prognosis and higher morbidity and mortality. Onconephrology is a field dedicated to understanding and treating the complex kidney problems that arise in patients with cancer. This program focuses on how cancer and its treatments affect the kidneys. Lectures and case-based discussions enable participants to refine their knowledge of AKI, hypertension, and electrolyte abnormalities resulting from novel and longstanding cancer treatments; consider the impact of kidney diseases in special populations with cancer (e.g., in patients with ESKD and kidney transplantation); and learn about hematologic conditions and their effects on the kidneys.
