Onco-Nephrology in Stem Cell Transplantation

Onco-Nephrology is a specialized field that focuses on the relationship between cancer and kidney health. In the context of stem cell transplantation—a treatment for various cancers—patients may experience kidney-related issues due to chemotherapy, radiation, or the transplant itself. Onco-Nephrologists monitor and manage these kidney problems to ensure overall health, as the kidneys play a crucial role in filtering waste and balancing fluids in the body. By addressing these challenges, they help improve recovery and outcomes for patients undergoing stem cell transplants, ensuring better overall care during and after cancer treatment.
