Abstract:
Nephrotoxicity can be a severe complication of oncology treatment. The most common presentations of chemotherapy-related renal disorders include acute kidney injury, electrolyte abnormalities, acid base disturbances, hemolytic anemia, and hypertension. Oncology nurses should be aware of the potential renal complications of oncology therapeutics and advocate for appropriate monitoring and treatment of patients. This article reviews the most common chemotherapeutic agents that may cause nephrotoxicity.
