Acute renal failure (ARF) can be one of the many complications associated with malignancy and, unfortunately, often harbors a worse prognosis for the afflicted patient. Insult to the kidneys can occur for a variety of reasons in the oncologic patient. This article focuses on several of these etiologies, such as tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), which are unique threats faced by the oncologic patient.
