Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Chronic kidney disease is one of the most potent risk factors for end-stage kidney disease. The number of patients with chronic kidney disease is increasing. Although several new drugs have been launched in clinical practice, the global need for optimal strategies to prevent the progression of chronic kidney disease urgently needs to be addressed. This Special Issue of the Journal of Personalized Medicine aims to highlight the current state of the science and present the latest findings in the field of chronic kidney disease. We call for research that explores all conditions associated with chronic kidney disease, using basic science, clinical- and population-based approaches, and all kinds of actions for public awareness. Scientific advancements in the field of chronic kidney disease promise a brighter future for patients.

(1) Background: The relationship between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and urological cancers is complex, as most of these cancers are diagnosed in patients with advanced ages, when the kidney function may be already impaired. On the other hand, urological cancers could represent a risk factor for CKD, significantly reducing the life expectancy of the patients. The main objective of our study was to analyze the impact of CKD on the overall mortality of patients diagnosed with the most frequent types of urological cancers. (2) Material and Methods: We conducted an observational retrospective cohort study on a group of 5831 consecutive newly diagnosed cancer patients, followed over a 2-year period (2019–2020), from a large Oncology Hospital in Romania. From this group, we selected only the patients diagnosed with urological malignancies, focusing on prostate cancer, bladder cancer and renal cancer; finally, 249 patients were included in our analysis. (3) Results: In the group of patients with prostate cancer (n = 146), the 2-year overall mortality was 62.5% for patients with CKD, compared with 39.3% for those with no initial CKD (p < 0.05). In the group of patients with bladder cancer (n = 62), the 2-year overall mortality was 80% for patients with initial CKD, compared with 45.2% for the patients with no initial CKD (p < 0.05). Finally, in the group of patients with renal cell carcinoma (n = 41), the 2-year overall mortality was 60% for patients with initial CKD, compared with 50% for the patient group with no initial CKD (p < 0.05). Various correlations between specific oncologic and nephrological parameters were also analyzed. (4) Conclusions: The presence of CKD at the moment of the urological cancer diagnosis is associated with significantly higher 2-year mortality rates. Full article
