Mp59-15 how surgical factors influence renal functional preservation in healthy and "at-risk" kidneys after partial nephrectomy

Partial nephrectomy (PN) for clinically localized renal cell carcinoma (CLRCC) allows for comparable oncologic benefit to radical nephrectomy with improved preservation of renal function in pT1-T2 masses. The decreased impact on GFR in patients within normal or near normal renal function is less important than the change observed in those patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We aimed to investigate the rates and risk factors for CKD upstaging after PN in patients with normal and at-risk kidneys, and to understand how surgically modifiable factors influence that relationship.
