Onco-nephrology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the intersection of cancer and kidney health. It addresses the complex kidney-related complications that arise in patients with cancer — either due to the cancer itself, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation, or other cancer-related treatments.

This field plays a vital role in ensuring cancer patients receive safe, effective care without compromising kidney function, especially in those who already have or are at risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD).
