Today, Philip Vestergaard Munch defended his PhD dissertation entitled "Acute kidney injury in cancer patients". 

Acute kidney injury, a sudden decline in kidney function, is a common and potentially serious complication among cancer patients and is often associated with increased mortality. A new PhD dissertation addresses existing knowledge gaps by examining the risks and outcomes of acute kidney injury across a wide range of cancer treatments. The research also evaluates the performance of current diagnostic criteria for acute kidney injury, taking into account patients' baseline kidney function. These findings provide new insights into the performance of the criteria in patients with chronic kidney disease.

The summary is written by the PhD student.
