Renal Function and All-Cause Mortality Risk Among Cancer Patients Yan Yang, MD, Hui-yan Li, MD, PhD, Qian Zhou, MS, Zhen-wei Peng, MD, PhD, Xin An, MD, Wei Li, MD, Li-ping Xiong, MD, Xue-qing Yu, MD, PhD, Wen-qi Jiang, MD, and Hai-ping Mao, MD, PhD
Abstract: Renal dysfunction predicts all-cause mortality in general population. However, the prevalence of renal insufficiency and its relationship with mortality in cancer patients are unclear. We retrospectively studied 9465 patients with newly diagnosed cancer from January 2010 to December 2010. Renal insufficiency was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)
