Chronic Kidney Disease in Children Within Five Years After Ifosfamide Chemotherapy for Childhood Cancer: A Dutch Pediatric Oncology Cohort Study.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

Children who got ifosfamide chemotherapy were more likely to develop chronic kidney disease within five years, based on a group of 127 kids in the Netherlands. This study shows a link between the chemo drug and kidney problems, but it cannot prove the chemo caused them — other factors could be involved.
