Abstract

Cancer patients are prone to developing acute kidney disease (AKD), yet this phenomenon remains understudied compared to acute kidney injury (AKI). AKD, which often develops insidiously, can cause treatment interruptions, extended hospital stays, and increased mortality. This perspective article explores the intricate relationship between AKD and cancer, focusing on prevalence, risk factors, implications for anticancer therapy, and long-term outcomes, including chronic kidney disease progression. To emphasize the importance of early detection and intervention, this work advocates for increased research and awareness among clinicians to improve patient outcomes and manage healthcare burdens associated with AKD in cancer patients.
