Pd12-09 surgically-induced hypertension and cardiovascular morbidity following treatment for localized kidney cancer: the impact of nephrons loss

Nephrons loss due to surgery for kidney cancer increases the risk of chronic kidney disease and has several sequelae that may compromise patient general health status. Previous investigations observed lower cardiovascular events after nephron-sparing surgery [NSS] relative to radical nephrectomy [RN]. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of NSS on each specific cardiovascular category taking into account the temporal pattern of presentation.
