Chronic Kidney Disease Management in Cancer Patients

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in cancer patients requires careful management to protect kidney function while treating cancer. This involves monitoring kidney health with regular tests, adjusting cancer treatments to minimize kidney strain, and managing related issues like high blood pressure and electrolyte imbalances. Patients may need dietary changes, such as limiting salt and protein, and staying hydrated. Collaboration between oncologists and nephrologists is crucial to ensure the safety and effectiveness of cancer therapies while preserving kidney health. Regular follow-ups and personalized care plans help address the unique challenges faced by these patients.
