Dr. Geo Philip John Raises Awareness on Onco-Nephrology with Manorama News’ KERALACAN Initiative


On World Kidney Day, our esteemed Dr. Geo Philip John took center stage in a live awareness program with Manorama News' KERALACAN initiative, educating the public on the critical intersection of cancer and kidney health—Onco-Nephrology.

This session was a significant step in spreading awareness about the challenges faced by cancer patients with kidney complications, the impact of cancer therapies on renal function, and the importance of early diagnosis and preventive strategies.


Key Insights from the Session on Onco-Nephrology

📌 What is Onco-Nephrology?
Onco-Nephrology is a specialized field that focuses on kidney-related complications in cancer patients. Many cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation, can affect kidney function, leading to acute kidney injury (AKI) or chronic kidney disease (CKD).

📌 Why is it Important?

  • Cancer patients are at higher risk of kidney damage due to medications, dehydration, and metabolic changes.
  • Early intervention can prevent irreversible kidney damage and improve treatment outcomes.
  • Proper kidney function is essential for the safe administration of cancer therapies.

📌 Managing Kidney Health in Cancer Patients
Monitoring kidney function before, during, and after cancer treatment.
Using nephroprotective strategies to minimize kidney toxicity from cancer drugs.
Maintaining hydration, proper nutrition, and medication adjustments to support renal health.


A Step Towards Better Awareness & Care

Through this informative session, Dr. Geo Philip John and the Manorama News KERALACAN initiative helped bring crucial kidney health awareness to thousands, empowering patients and caregivers with the right knowledge to protect their kidneys during cancer treatment.
