Impact of radical nephrectomy on renal functional outcome in patients with no other co-morbidity as determined by 24-h urinary creatinine clearance

Therefore it is recommended that patients undergoing RN should be strictly monitored for occult renal failure and managed promptly to prevent serious morbidity of frank renal failure.
