Abstract

Onco-nephrology is a rapidly growing subspecialty area, which was born of the unique kidney disease and cancer connection that exists. In reality, this area of subspecialization combines the knowledge and skills of a number of specialty groups that includes nephrologists, oncologists, urologists, intensivists, pharmacologists, and palliative care specialists. In this inaugural issue of the Journal of Onco-Nephrology, a series of papers addressing the various forms of kidney disease that develop in patients admitted to the oncology floor is presented as part of the Onco-Nephrology Highlights section. These papers are based on a session at the American Society of Nephrology Kidney Week 2015 in San Diego, CA, USA, entitled “Renal Consults from the Oncology Floor.” The editors hope you find these 4 papers educational and practical in your care of patients with cancer and kidney disease.
