Cancer-Related Glomerular Diseases

Cancer-related glomerular diseases refer to kidney issues that arise in patients due to cancer or its treatments. These conditions can affect the small filtering units in the kidneys, known as glomeruli, and lead to problems like protein in the urine, swelling, and high blood pressure. Various cancers and treatments, like chemotherapy, can trigger these issues. Managing these diseases is essential for preserving kidney function and overall health in cancer patients, and often involves a coordinated effort between oncologists and nephrologists to address both cancer care and kidney health effectively.
