Carcinogenesis Associated with Toxin Nephropathy: Proposed Mediation by Phosphate Toxicity

Abstract excerpt

Although cancer is often considered a genetic disease, genotoxic damage to nuclear DNA caused by carcinogens is not always sufficient to stimulate cancer cell growth, suggesting that other etiological factors are involved. Indeed, many carcinogens are also nephrotoxic and can impair kidney function. In turn, impaired renal function can dysregulate serum inorganic phosphate, leading to hyperphosphatemia and excess...
