Onconephrology: Cancer, Its Treatments, and the Kidneys

Course Description

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.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this program, the participant will be able to: 1) identify clinical and laboratory features of kidney-related toxicities across a spectrum of cancer therapies; 2) discuss management of patients diagnosed with cancer who have coexistent AKI, CKD, and/or kidney transplants; and 3) describe kidney and electrolyte disorders associated with hematologic conditions and best practices for clinical management.
