Providing Specialized Guidance to Protect Kidney Health
Kidney dysfunction is a common side effect of cancer therapy. As we have more therapeutic options, a patient with cancer may experience some “organ” toxicity – such as kidney disease. Also, people with kidney disease from other causes can get cancer. In this clinic we provide specialized guidance to protect kidney health. We also manage new kidney problems that may emerge as patients are undergoing cancer therapies.
What kind of conditions are treated?
- Acute kidney injury
- Protein leaks from the urine (proteinuria)
- Chronic kidney disease
- Electrolyte imbalance (such as low sodium, or high potassium)
- Multiple myeloma involving the kidneys
- Any other kidney issue of concern for your cancer team
