What are the Treatment Options for Kidney Problems in Cancer Patients?
Treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity of the kidney problems:
1. Medications: To manage symptoms and treat underlying conditions. For example, diuretics for fluid retention or steroids for inflammation. 2. Dialysis: In cases of severe kidney failure, dialysis may be required to artificially filter the blood. 3. Adjustment of cancer treatment: Modifying chemotherapy regimens, reducing doses, or switching to less nephrotoxic drugs. 4. Supportive care: Hydration, nutritional support, and managing electrolyte imbalances.
