Predictors and outcome of acute kidney injury in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia or high‐risk myelodysplastic syndrome

Relatively mild elevations in creatinine are associated with higher mortality. Strategies to avoid nephrotoxic drugs or fluid overload may be of benefit. Cancer 2010. (c) 2010 American Cancer Society.
