Kidney disease and cancer are frequent comorbidities that require
specialized knowledge and expertise from both the nephrologist and
the oncologist. Written by three pioneers in this growing
subspecialty, Onco-Nephrology provides authoritative, definitive
coverage of the mechanism and management of these two
life-threatening diseases. This unique, single-volume resource
covers current protocols and recommends management therapies to
arrest kidney failure and allow oncologic treatments to continue
and succeed. Addresses acute and chronic kidney diseases that
develop from a variety of cancers. This includes direct kidney
injury from the malignancy, paraneoplastic effects of the cancer,
and various cancer agents used to treat the malignancy. Discusses
key issues regarding kidney disease in patients with cancer,
including conventional chemotherapeutic regimens and new novel
therapies (targeted agents and immunotherapies) or the malignancies
themselves that may promote kidney injury; patients with chronic
kidney disease who acquire cancer unrelated to renal failure; and
kidney transplantation, which has been shown to carry an increased
risk of cancer. Contains dedicated chapters for each class of the
conventional chemotherapeutic agents, targeted cancer agents, and
cancer immunotherapies including the basic science, pathogenic
mechanisms of injury, clinical manifestations, and treatment.
Includes special chapters devoted to the individual classes of
chemotherapies that relate to kidney disease for quick reference.
Discusses increasingly complex problems due to more numerous and
specialized anti-cancer drugs, as well as increased survival rates
for both cancer and renal failure requiring long-term patient care.
Covers anti-VEGF (antivascular endothelial growth factor) agents
and cancer immunotherapies - treatments that are being recognized
for adverse kidney effects. Utilizes a clear, logical format based
on the ASN Core Curriculum for Onco-Nephrology, making this
reference an excellent tool for board review, as well as a
practical resource in daily practice. Enhanced eBook version
included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access
all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety
of devices.
