Key Points

To explore the relationship between chronic kidney disease and the development of renal tumors.
Review of literature on chronic kidney disease and renal tumors.
Analysis of precursor lesions and tumor types associated with chronic kidney disease.
Evaluation of pathogenesis and immunophenotypic findings in renal neoplasia.
CKD patients face a significantly higher risk of developing kidney tumors compared to the general population.
The incidence of renal cell carcinoma in CKD patients is approximately 5%.
The review identifies various benign and malignant neoplasia linked to CKD and ESRD.

Abstract

The incidence and prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end stage renal disease (ESRD) are on the rise causing significant health issues associated with hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation. Moreover, all CKD patients have dramatically higher risk than the general population of developing kidney tumors with 5% incidence of renal cell carcinoma. This review highlights the spectrum of precursor lesions, most common benign and malignant neoplasia in patients with CKD and ESRD, focusing on pathogenesis, morphologic and immunophenotypic findings.
