By determining the nature of renal pathology in both cellular and solid-organ malignancies, patients are provided care that uniquely focuses on their needs
We adopt a patient-focused approach to address chemotherapy and immunotherapy toxicities, electrolyte imbalances, secondary renal parenchymal disorders, and pre- and post-stem cell transplant kidney function evaluations.
“Keeping pace with the rapid advancements in the field of hematology-oncology and stem cell transplantation, nephrologists are increasingly being confronted by a unique set of renal complications."
Fred Hutch is a high volume center which performs about 500 stem cell transplants annually with allogeneic transplants accounting for 75% of these procedures. Most referrals to the onconephrology clinic are patients with hematologic malignancies.
Patients with renal cell and urothelial cancers, as well as other solid organ malignancies present a different, yet challenging, scope of renal problems that usually requires a multi-disciplinary approach to management.
The Onconephrology Clinic also provides trainees with a first-hand experience in participating in the care of these patients and undertake much needed clinical research in this arena.”
