Cancer-Associated Acute Kidney Injury Requiring Hemodialysis, 25-Year Single-Center Study

A single-center retrospective study of 539 adult cancer patients who underwent emergency hemodialysis for acute kidney injury between 2000 and 2025. The data includes patient demographics, cancer types, etiologies of kidney injury, dialysis indications, and renal recovery outcomes, stratified across two treatment eras. The dataset was created by Aydan Mutis Alan and published on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze the distribution of acute kidney injury etiologies based on cancer type mentioned in the description
• Compare renal recovery rates between the conventional chemotherapy era (2000-2010) and the targeted/immunotherapy era (2011-2025)
• Model patient outcomes based on demographic factors and primary malignancy groups
• Investigate temporal trends in dialysis indications such as uremia and hyperkalemia

Strengths

• Includes 539 patient records from a 25-year period (2000-2025)
• Provides specific breakdowns by cancer type (e.g., 38% genitourinary) and AKI etiology (e.g., 37% postrenal obstruction)
• Reports key clinical metrics like median dialysis sessions (4) and rate of dialysis independence (56%)

Limitations

• Row count for the underlying patient-level data is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data is from a single tertiary referral center, which may limit generalizability
