The Comparison of Three Renal Tumor Scoring Systems: C-Index, P.A.D.U.A., and R.E.N.A.L. Nephrometry Scores

Abstract

All three scoring systems demonstrated reliability among observers and represent novel methods of quantitatively describing renal tumors. They were all associated with WIT, percent change in creatinine level, and tumor size. They did not, however, correlate with any other perioperative parameters investigated. At this time, these SS provide a common language for describing renal tumors.
