Early responses of glomerular filtration rate to unilateral nephrectomy

Effect of warm ischemia time during laparoscopic partial nephrectomy on early postoperative glomerular filtration rate.

PURPOSE We evaluated the effect of warm ischemia time on early postoperative renal function following laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of 453 patients who were surgically treated for renal tumors between May 2001 and September 2007, and who were identified in our database 128 underwent laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. Of these 128 patients 101 who were evaluable had co...

Follow-up study of unilateral renal function after nephrectomy assessed by glomerular filtration rate per functional renal volume

BACKGROUND To evaluate the clinical usefulness of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) divided by functional renal volume (FRV) measured by three-dimensional image reconstruction (eGFR/FRV) for the prediction of functional outcomes after nephrectomy. METHODS Eighty-three patients who underwent nephrectomy were enrolled. The FRV of each patient was measured before surgery. Preoperative ...

Estimated glomerular filtration rate.

The recent article about estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by Levey and colleagues (1) is remarkable. The authors suggest that the new equation may still have some bias and especially may have less precision in patients with GFRs greater than 60 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 . This is even more important if the GFR is greater than 90 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 . In the paper's Methods section, Levey an...
