title: Cancer: ADT and acute kidney injury-causal or casual relationship?
abstract: A recent observational study has reported that androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer is associated with an increased risk of acute kidney injury. As a result of limited biological plausibility and critical measured and unmeasured confounders, the reported link is more likely to be casual than causal.
