Abstract
The pediatric nephrologist may at times be asked to evaluate renal dysfunction in a patient with cancer. This chapter gives an overview of various such scenarios. The section on renal tumors delineates common presentations, patient evaluation, and therapy plans in common pediatric kidney tumors. The section on “nephrology consults in oncology” deals with tumor lysis syndrome, chemotherapy-induced renal dysfunction, and secondary hypertension. These clinical scenarios require understanding and cooperation from both the nephrologist and the oncologist to optimize therapy. The last section deals with stem cell transplantation and renal issues arising in this setting. A short overview regarding the procedure is followed by a summary of renal concerns during and following a stem cell transplant.
