Abstract
Onco-nephrology is an important sub-field of nephrology, which interfaces with the fields of oncology, hematology, urology, critical care medicine, clinical pharmacology, and palliative care medicine. The unique connection that exists for kidney disease and cancer in all phases of clinical medicine continues to rapidly expand. Onco-nephrology combines the knowledge and skills of a number of specialty groups that span all areas of clinical medicine. In this issue of the Journal of Onco-Nephrology, a series of papers address the various forms of kidney disease that develop in patients with cancer and its therapy. This Onco-Nephrology Highlights series includes papers that are based on lectures delivered at the American Society of Nephrology Kidney Week Onco-Nephrology Early Program that took place in Washington, DC, in 2019. We hope you find these three papers educational and practical as you evaluate and treat patients with cancer and kidney disease in your clinical practice.
