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.
The American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Kidney Week 2024 will feature a session titled “Onconephrology: Cancer, Its Treatments, and the Kidneys.” This session is scheduled for October 23, 2024, from 07:00 AM to 05:00 PM at the Convention Center. The program will focus on how cancer and its treatments affect the kidneys, covering topics such as:
- Abnormalities in calcium and phosphorus in malignancy: mechanisms and management options
- Malignancy and kidney transplantation: evolving toward personalized care
- Case studies in onconephrology
- Models, markers, and medications in onconephrology
The session aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the complex kidney problems that arise in patients with cancer and the latest advancements in their management.
