High CRP Predicts Poor RCC-Specific Survival in Hemodialysis Patients
Study shows a 3.5 times increased risk of death from renal cancer in hemodialysis patients undergoing nephrectomy.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Risk Lower with Partial Nephrectomy
Researchers find a greater than 50% reduction in end-stage renal disease risk compared with radical nephrectomy.
Partial Nephrectomy Superior Despite Kidney Tumor Size
Renal function is preserved better compared with radical nephrectomy even when tumors are larger than the traditional 4 cm cutoff.
Predictors of Post-Nephrectomy Readmission ID’d
Open procedures, preoperative dialysis, and higher ASA score were significant predictors of readmission after radical nephrectomy.
RCC Surveillance Guidelines Need Improvement
Following guidelines from the AUA and NCCN would miss many cases of disease recurrence following surgery, study suggests.
Elevated CKD Risk May Remain Despite Partial Nephrectomy
Risk is not eliminated if patients have risk factors for chronic kidney disease, such as hypertension and diabetes.
Kidney Remaining After Donor Nephrectomy Increases in Size
Increment in renal parenchymal volume occurs within days after a kidney is removed from a living donor.
Kidney Cancer Death Risk Higher with NSM in Older Patients
Patients aged 75-79 who had localized tumors had worse cancer-specific survival with nonsurgical management than surgery.
Nephron-Sparing Surgery Cuts Risk of Moderate Renal Dysfunction
The beneficial impact of this approach on renal function does not improve survival, however.
Partial Nephrectomy May Improve Survival
Partial nephrectomy may lead to better overall survival and fewer health problems after surgery in patients with kidney tumors.
