Glomerular Filtration Rate Articles

To evaluate peri- and post-operative outcomes after robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) in patients with a solitary kidney. A multi-institutional database of 1868 patients was used to identify 35 patients with a solitary kidney who underwent RPN at six different centers from 2007 to 2016.

Active surveillance is an increasingly accepted treatment modality for select patients with small renal masses. The DISSRM (delayed intervention and surveillance for small renal masses) registry is a multi-institutional, prospectively collected data repository which includes patients who select active surveillance for their small renal masses, as well as others who select immediate intervention.

We compared renal function outcomes among patients in the surveillance and intervention arms of the DISSRM registry.

Patients were grouped into chronic kidney disease stages by estimated glomerular filtration rate range.

The relationship between endogenous creatinine clearance (eCrCl) and renal function values obtained using mathematical formulas has not yet been fully elucidated, especially in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma that are treated with radical nephroureterectomy followed by cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

To provide a contemporary understanding of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its relevance to kidney cancer surgery. To resolve points of discrepancy regarding the survival benefits of partial nephrectomy (PN) vs radical nephrectomy (RN) by critically evaluating the results of prospective and retrospective studies in the urologic literature.

To evaluate renal function 1 year after radical nephrectomy (RN) for renal cell carcinoma, the preoperative predictors of postnephrectomy renal function were investigated by sex, and equations to predict the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 1 year after RN were developed.

We aimed to investigate the effects of intra-abdominal pressure and steep Trendelenburg position on the intrarenal vascular parameters and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in the first 24 hours of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) surgery.

Cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) before radical cystectomy is the standard of care in muscle-invasive bladder cancer. There are limited data regarding chemotherapy tolerability and outcomes for patients with low glomerular filtration rate (GFR) who receive cisplatin-based NAC.

The association of malnutrition and systemic diseases like chronic kidney disease (CKD) is well known. Various urinary tract abnormalities may be associated with malnutrition. So objective of current study was to determine the frequency of functional and structural urinary tract abnormalities in severely malnourished children admitted in Nutritional Rehabilitation Unit (NRU) of a tertiary care facility, Karachi.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) after surgery for kidney cancer is common, and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to identify factors associated with incident CKD in patients managed with radical nephrectomy.

Nephrotoxicity remains the dose-limiting side effect of cisplatin, an effective chemotherapeutic agent with applications across diverse tumor types. This study presents data on renal outcomes across multiple tumor types in 821 adults.

Background and objectives: Microwave thermal ablation (MWT) is one of the treatment options for kidney cancer. However, for patients over 70 years old the safety and oncological efficacy of this treatment is still controversial.

To evaluate kidney functional and overall survival (OS) outcomes in a cohort of patients who underwent partial nephrectomy (PN) or radical nephrectomy (RN) for tumors ≤4 cm.

We performed a retrospective study on 2,110 patients who underwent PN or RN with normal contralateral kidneys and normal serum creatinine from 1989 through 2012.

Since plasma oxalate (POx) concentrations increase at lower glomerular filtration rate (GFR) levels, even among those without enteric (EH) or primary hyperoxaluria (PH), the appropriate thresholds for considering a disorder of oxalate metabolism are poorly defined.

Partial nephrectomy (PN) is generally favored for cT1 tumors over radical nephrectomy (RN) when technically feasible. However, it can be unclear whether the additional risks of PN are worth the magnitude of renal function benefit.

To evaluate whether elective off-clamp laparoscopic partial nephrectomy affords long-term renal functional benefit compared to the on-clamp approach.

This is a retrospective review of patients who underwent elective laparoscopic partial nephrectomy between 2006 and 2011.

This study aims to describe the rate and characteristics of transient renal impairment in unilateral ureteric stone patients without chronic kidney disease (CKD) and to identify factors that may have influenced renal function of these patients.
