Total renal volume and renal function after radical nephrectomy in renal neoplasm

The median age at the time of RN was 70 years old (range, 40-88 years). Most of them were men, 66%. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) pre and post nephrectomy was 78 (40-100) and 53.3ml/min/ m (30-90) respectively (P=.01). The TRV pre and post-nephrectomy was 168.2ml (100.4-257.2) and 187.8ml (115.5-273.1) respectively (P=.001). The pre-nephrectomy eGFR (β=0.62; P=.034) and the TRV (β=1.08; P<.0001) were positively correlated with the post-nephrectomy TRV, while the eGFR at year of follow-up was correlated negatively (β=-1.18; P=.047) CONCLUSIONS: The measurement of pre and post nephrectomy TRV can help to predict renal function evolution at a year of follow-up.
