ผู้ป่วยมะเร็งต้องรู้ เป็นมะเร็งเปลี่ยนถ่ายไตได้หรือไม่

<p><span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>“Assoc. Prof. Dr. Natthapon Aponsujaritkul, Transplant Surgeon”</strong></span> mentioned that cancer patients may experience kidney complications due to poor overall health, medications affecting the kidneys, and other environmental factors. Many cancer patients have questions, so frequently asked questions have been compiled to clarify these concerns.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Are cancer patients at increased risk of kidney disease?</span></h2>
<p>The risk mainly depends on the patient&#8217;s own care. Some cancer treatments may affect the kidneys. If the cancer treatment regimen does not include drugs that impact the kidneys, it does not increase the risk of chronic kidney disease.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Can cancer patients undergo kidney transplantation if necessary?</span></h2>
<p>Cancer patients with end-stage chronic kidney failure are contraindicated for kidney transplantation because the immunosuppressive drugs used after transplantation can cause existing cancer to spread uncontrollably.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Cancer patients with end-stage chronic kidney failure must have been completely cured of cancer for at least 2 to 5 years, depending on the type of cancer, as each cancer type has different remission periods. Exceptions include some types of cancer that allow immediate kidney transplantation, such as certain non-aggressive skin cancers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Precautions and preparation</span></h2>
<p>Cancer patients who have been cured and are in the evaluation phase for kidney transplantation must undergo screening to detect any hidden cancer. If no cancer is found after evaluation, they can proceed with the kidney transplantation process. Generally, cancer patients must have been cancer-free for at least 2-5 years before undergoing kidney transplantation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Post-kidney transplantation care for cancer patients</span></h2>
<p>They can follow the same care as regular kidney transplant patients but must be closely monitored and screened for recurrence of their previous cancer. Typically, cancer patients must have been cured for at least 2-5 years before receiving a kidney transplant.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For example, if a patient had breast cancer but has been cured, after kidney transplantation, they must be monitored for any recurrence of breast cancer and undergo thorough screening for other common cancers that may develop after transplantation.</p>


In addition to depending mainly on the patient's own care, some cancer treatment drugs may also affect the kidneys. Cancer treatment regimens that do not include drugs affecting the kidneys do not increase the risk of chronic kidney disease.
