Kidney Cancer Linked to Chronic Hepatitis in the Asia-Pacific: A Population-Based Analysis

Abstract: Background: The association of renal cancer with viral hepatitis infection remains unclear. Using an insurance data set, this population-based case-control study evaluated the association of renal cancer with chronic hepatitis virus infection in an endemic area of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Methods: We enrolled 17,747 patients with renal cancer during the period from 2000 to 2011 from the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan. The control group comprised 35,4… Show more

“…First, compared with persons of eGFR ≥ 90 ml/min/1.73m 2 , those of eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m 2 tended to have more risk factors of cancer, such as older age, smoking, obesity and diabetes 18 . Second, CKD and cancer have common risk factors, such as virus and herbal medicines including aristolochine, which have both nephrotoxic effects and carcinogenic activity 19 , 20 . Third, the retention of uremic toxins could result in immunosuppression, which contribute to the development of cancer, and further accentuate mitogenesis and proliferation in malignant tumors.…”

“…It is currently thought that the virus, host and genetic factors interact and lead to kidney damage. The antigen composition in the kidney deposition increased with a large number of HBV‐DNA replication, which leading to a variety of inflammatory cells and media activation and mobilization to strengthen, eventually leading to increased renal pathological damage …”
