Chapter
Abstract
The kidneys may be affected in several ways by tumours; they may be the site of neoplasia, obstruction to the urinary tract may occur, tumours may secrete hormones which alter renal function, neoplasms may cause renal vein thrombosis, hyperuricaemia or hypercalcaemia may complicate malignancy, and glomerulonephritis may result from immune complexes of tumour antigen and antibody.
