ABSTRACT
Chronic kidney disease(CKD)associated with cancer and its treatment affects life after cancer treatment. There is inconclusive opinion on whether CKD treatment in survivors after cancer treatment needs special care differently than in the general population with CKD. Several topics were discussed by nephrologists, urologists and medical oncologists, pediatricians, pharmaceutical specialists, and others based on the results of a literature search, and the consensus was documented in the "Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management for Kidney Injury During Anticancer Drug Therapy, 2022". The prevalence of CKD among adult cancer survivors is reported to be 4-7%. The characteristics include(1)elderly and physically impaired patients(, 2)a high risk of cancer recurrence, and(3)frequently cancer treatment-related CKD. Although there are no cancer survivor-specific indications or contraindications in the selection of renal replacement therapy, renal transplantation is often preferred in pediatric cancer survivors. It was determined that it is not appropriate to recommend or not recommend the administration of erythropoietin stimulating agents for renal anemia in cancer survivors based on a systematic review and discussion between panelists. When used in individual cases, its application should be well examined and consideration should be given to avoiding high hemoglobin level and to monitoring for cancer development.
