About

Cancer is the second most frequent cause of premature death in children. The incidence of pediatric cancer varies by region and country, but it is generally considered rare with an estimated 300,000 new cases diagnosed worldwide. Acute kidney injury in pediatric cancer patients refers to the sudden and often temporary loss of renal function, which can lead to a variety of complications if not treated correctly.
