Long-term functional outcomes in patients undergoing radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma and tumor thrombus

ConclusionsThe presence of TT in RCC patients represents a key risk factor for worse perioperative, as well as long-term renal function. Specifically, patients with TT harbor a significant and early estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decrease. However, despite TT patients show a greater eGFR decline after surgery, they retain acceptable renal function, which remains stable over time.
