Chronic kidney disease and risk of kidney or urothelial malignancy: systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is highly prevalent, affecting approximately 11% of US adults. Multiple studies have evaluated a potential association between CKD and urinary tract malignancies. Summary estimates of urinary tract malignancy risk in CKD patients with and without common co-existing conditions may guide clinical practice recommendations.

Methods
