What to do when a dialysis patient gets lung cancer

If the kidney function of dialysis patients with lung cancer is well controlled, they can be treated with surgery and medication. 1. Surgical treatment: If the kidney function of dialysis patients with lung cancer is well maintained, the attending physician can assess whether they can undergo surgical treatment. 2. Drug therapy: for those who cannot undergo surgery, if the kidney of dialysis patients can tolerate it, patients can be treated with targeted drugs such as crizotinib under the guidance of doctors, or choose chemotherapy with little effect on kidney function. Dialysis patients with lung cancer need to seek medical treatment in time, and they can choose appropriate measures for treatment under doctor’s guidance. In addition, dialysis patients should control the amount of water they drink every day and keep the dialysis tubing clean to prevent infection. The patient’s diet can be low in foods with high potassium content.
