Featured Abstract
Progression of chronic kidney disease following radical and partial nephrectomy
To compare renal functional outcomes, as determined by percent decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and CKD stage progression following radical (RN) and partial nephrectomy (PN) stratified by preoperative CKD stage. We retrospectively evaluated adults treated with RN or PN between 1980 and 2018 for unilateral, sporadic, solid renal masses.Percent change in eGFR at 1 year was significantly worse for RN (n = 1724; 57%) compared with PN (n = 1322; 43%) for all preoperative CKD stages. RN was more likely to result in decline in eGFR and CKD stage progression compared to PN for patients with preoperative CKD stage IIIb or less.
