Impact of radical nephrectomy on kidney function and prognostic factors for adverse cardiovascular events.

CONCLUSION: There was a deleterious effect in renal function after nephrectomy which remained stable during subsequent years in most patients. Approximately half of our patients had a GFR lower than 60mL/min after nephrectomy. Previous cardiovascular disease, diabetes and de novo hypertension were shown as risk factors for adverse cardiovascular events. PMID: 32241673 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
