Abstract
Lung cancer, the most common cause of death due to malignancy, mostly presents in older individuals. Therefore, there is usually the coexistence of comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, or renal and heart failure. On the other hand, lung cancer affects various organs including the kidney; however, the mechanism is still not fully understood. We give an overview of the renal involvement in patients with lung cancers.
