Why is Nephrotoxicity a Concern for Cancer Patients?
Cancer patients are particularly vulnerable to nephrotoxicity due to the aggressive nature of their treatments. Drugs like cisplatin, methotrexate, and ifosfamide are known to have nephrotoxic effects. Kidney damage can lead to severe complications, including acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and even kidney failure, complicating cancer management and affecting the overall prognosis.
