The most common complication is radiation nephritis or radiation nephropathy, such as renal cancer radiotherapy, causing renal mucosal congestion, edema, ulcer or bleeding.

Second, the reaction in the acute stage is that radiotherapy affects the proliferation and immune process of renal mucosal epithelial cells, mucosal congestion, edema, epithelial cells falling off and ulceration.

Third: chronic stage of the performance of submucosal vascular and connective tissue lesions, can occur occlusive arteriophlebitis, submucosal tissue thickening due to ischemic fibrosis. Submucosal tissue is replaced by scar tissue, vascular tissue is further reduced, and renal wall is thickened, which can cause renal stenosis, renal fistula, and renal obstruction in severe cases. Rectovaginal fistula occurred after multiple radiotherapy. The indication and dose of radiotherapy should be strictly controlled.
