Introduction

Cancer-related kidney diseases encompass a wide range of conditions that affect the kidneys and are directly or indirectly linked to cancer [1]. The kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste products and excess fluid from the bloodstream, maintaining electrolyte balance, and regulating blood pressure [2]. When cancerous cells invade the kidneys or when cancer spreads from other parts of the body to the kidneys, it can lead to various kidney-related complications and pose significant challenges to patient health [3]. Understanding the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for cancer-related kidney diseases is of paramount importance in providing comprehensive and effective healthcare [4]. This article aims to provide an in-depth analysis of these diseases, unveiling their underlying causes, identifying the telltale symptoms for early detection, navigating the intricate path of diagnosis, and exploring the array of treatment options available to ensure optimal patient care [5]. Depending on the patient, discussions about possibilities for renal replacement treatment should begin in late stage 3 in CKD patients who are visibly advancing [6]. The possibility of referring surgical candidates to a transplant programme is taken into account. For those choosing dialysis, access for either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis should be explored at stage 4, and for those choosing hemodialysis, vein mapping should be completed [7]. Typically, at that point, vascular access should be installed. The precise timing of the beginning of dialysis therapy is a matter of debate. KDOQI advises people with symptoms to begin when their eGFR is less than 14 ml/min/m2. Start treatment in asymptomatic patients with an eGFR of less than 6 ml/min/m2. Cooper et al. carried out an 828-person randomised control study [8]. Over the past two decades, cancer therapies have advanced from conventional chemotherapies to cutting-edge treatments that target genetic abnormalities and immunotherapies that use the body’s immune system to combat cancer cells. Although all of these medicines are linked to kidney damage, they have collectively improved cancer patients’ chances of survival [9]. It is crucial to take into account how the presence of chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, and other kidney disorders may affect treatment options as well as how specific treatments may increase the risk of kidney toxicity because kidney function is a key factor in determining a patient’s eligibility for newer drugs and clinical trials. The most frequent cause of intrinsic renal injury is acute tubular necrosis, which can be brought on by a number of chemotherapeutic agents, antibiotics, and other drugs. Following chemotherapy, there is a severe immunosuppression that results in sepsis and, consequently, acute tubular necrosis.2,3 Acute interstitial nephritis, which is connected with the use of drugs such antibiotics, is another typical intrinsic-associated damage [10]. However, the prevalence of patients with acute interstitial nephritis is rising due to access to new immunotherapies and targeted treatments.

Conclusion

Cancer-related kidney diseases encompass a complex array of conditions that significantly impact the health and well-being of individuals. This in-depth analysis has provided insights into the underlying causes, identification of telltale symptoms, the intricate path of diagnosis, and the exploration of treatment options for optimal patient care. Understanding the underlying causes of cancer-related kidney diseases, such as renal cell carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma, and metastatic kidney cancer, is crucial in developing effective prevention strategies and targeted therapies. Risk factors such as smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, chemical exposure, and genetic predispositions have been identified, emphasizing the importance of lifestyle modifications and early detection. Identifying the telltale symptoms associated with cancerrelated kidney diseases, including hematuria, flank pain, unintended weight loss, and fatigue, enables early detection and timely intervention. Healthcare professionals should be vigilant in recognizing these symptoms and conducting thorough evaluations to prevent delays in diagnosis and initiate appropriate management strategies. The continuous advancement of medical knowledge, emerging therapies, and personalized medicine approaches offer hope for improved outcomes in the management of cancer-related kidney diseases. Multidisciplinary collaboration, involving oncologists, nephrologists, urologists, radiologists, pathologists, and other healthcare professionals, is essential in providing comprehensive and individualized care for patients. An in-depth analysis of cancer-related kidney diseases has shed light on their underlying causes, telltale symptoms, diagnostic approaches, and treatment options. By staying abreast of the latest research and medical advancements, healthcare professionals can enhance their ability to effectively manage and combat these diseases, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life. Increased awareness, early detection, and timely intervention remain crucial in the fight against cancer-related kidney diseases.
