The 1‐year decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate ( <scp>eGFR</scp> ) after radical nephrectomy in patients with renal masses and matched living kidney donors is the same

Abstract

In our cohorts with advanced age the 1-year follow-up eGFR was similar in both groups. Despite increased co-morbidity in the RCC group there was no increased decline in renal function. Only reduced preoperative eGFR could be identified as risk factor for developing a postoperative eGFR of <60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) .
