Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background
We sought to identify the factors affecting renal compensatory processes that occur preoperatively as well as postoperatively in patients treated with radical nephrectomy (RNx) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).Methods
We retrospectively reviewed the records of 906 patients treated with RNx for RCC. We defined the early compensatory process (process 1) as compensatory adaptation of the contralateral normal kidney (CNK) before RNx. We defined the late compensatory process (process 2) as compensatory adaptation of the CNK after RNx. Total compensation was defined as the combination of these two processes. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to identify significant factors associated with processes 1, 2 and total compensation.Results
Mean preoperative, 1-week, and 5-year postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) were 84.5, 57.6 and 63.7 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively. Female sex (p < 0.001), lower body mass index (BMI) (p < 0.001), absence of hypertension (p = 0.019), lower preoperative eGFR (p < 0.001), larger tumor volume (p < 0.001), and larger CNK volume (p < 0.001) were significantly associated with process 1. Younger age (p = 0.019), higher BMI (p < 0.001), and absence of diabetes mellitus (DM) (p = 0.033) were significantly associated with process 2. Female sex (p < 0.001), younger age (p < 0.001), absence of DM (p = 0.002), lower preoperative eGFR (p < 0.001), and larger tumor (p = 0.001) and CNK volumes (p < 0.001) were significantly associated with total compensation.Conclusions
Different factors affected each compensatory process. Process 1 made a greater contribution to the entire renal compensatory process than process 2.

Project description:BackgroundSeveral predictive factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD) following radical nephrectomy (RN) or partial nephrectomy (PN) have been identified. However, early postoperative laboratory values were infrequently considered as potential predictors. Therefore, this study aimed to develop predictive models for CKD 1 year after RN or PN using early postoperative laboratory values, including serum creatinine (SCr) levels, in addition to preoperative and intraoperative factors. Moreover, the optimal SCr sampling time point for the best prediction of CKD was determined.MethodsData were retrospectively collected from patients with renal cell cancer who underwent laparoscopic or robotic RN (n = 557) or PN (n = 999). Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factors, including laboratory values, were incorporated during model development. We developed 8 final models using information collected at different time points (preoperative, postoperative day [POD] 0 to 5, and postoperative 1 month). Lastly, we combined all possible subsets of the developed models to generate 120 meta-models. Furthermore, we built a web application to facilitate the implementation of the model.ResultsThe magnitude of postoperative elevation of SCr and history of CKD were the most important predictors for CKD at 1 year, followed by RN (compared to PN) and older age. Among the final models, the model using features of POD 4 showed the best performance for correctly predicting the stages of CKD at 1 year compared to other models (accuracy: 79% of POD 4 model versus 75% of POD 0 model, 76% of POD 1 model, 77% of POD 2 model, 78% of POD 3 model, 76% of POD 5 model, and 73% in postoperative 1 month model). Therefore, POD 4 may be the optimal sampling time point for postoperative SCr. A web application is hosted at https://dongy.shinyapps.io/aki_ckd .ConclusionsOur predictive model, which incorporated postoperative laboratory values, especially SCr levels, in addition to preoperative and intraoperative factors, effectively predicted the occurrence of CKD 1 year after RN or PN and may be helpful for comprehensive management planning.

Project description:BACKGROUND:We aimed to develop a nomogram based on preprocedural features for early prediction of acute kidney injury (AKI) and to assess the prognosis in patients after radical and partial nephrectomy. METHODS:The study included a development cohort of 1111 patients who were treated between June 2012 and June 2017 and an additional validation cohort of 356 patients who were treated between July 2017 and June 2018. Stepwise regression and logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the association between predictors and AKI. Incorporating all independent predictors, a nomogram for postoperative AKI was developed and externally validated. Patients were followed up for 5 years to assess renal function, acute kidney disease (AKD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), hospital readmission and mortality were key prognosis we focused on. RESULTS:After multivariate logistic regression, radical nephrectomy (odds ratio (OR)?=?3.57, p?<?0.001), aspirin (OR?=?1.79, p?=?0.008), systolic blood pressure (OR?=?1.41, p?=?0.004), triglyceride (OR?=?1.26, p?=?0.024), and alkaline phosphatase (OR?=?1.75, p?=?0.034) were independent risk factors for postoperative AKI, while albumin (OR?=?0.72, p?=?0.031) was a protective factor for postoperative AKI. Patients with a higher estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (60-90?ml/min/1.73?m2, OR?=?0.41, p?=?0.004; ? 90?ml/min/1.73?m2, OR?=?0.37, p?<?0.001) were less prone to AKI than those with a lower eGFR (<?15?ml/min/1.73?m2). These predictors were all included in the final nomogram. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve for the model were 0.77 (p?<?0.001) in the development cohort and 0.72 (p?<?0.001) in the validation cohort. The incidence of AKD and CKD were 27.12 and 18.64% in AKI group, which were much higher than those in no AKI group (p?<?0.001). CONCLUSIONS:The nomogram had excellent predictive ability and might have significant clinical implications for the early detection of AKI in patients undergoing nephrectomy.

Project description:BackgroundPartial nephrectomy and radical nephrectomy are the relevant surgical therapy options for localised renal cell carcinoma. However, debate regarding the effects of these surgical approaches continues and it is important to identify and summarise high-quality studies to make surgical treatment recommendations.ObjectivesTo assess the effects of partial nephrectomy compared with radical nephrectomy for clinically localised renal cell carcinoma.Search methodsWe searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, BIOSIS, LILACS, Scopus, two trial registries and abstracts from three major conferences to 24 February 2017, together with reference lists; and contacted selected experts in the field.Selection criteriaWe included a randomised controlled trial comparing partial and radical nephrectomy for participants with small renal masses.Data collection and analysisOne review author screened all of the titles and abstracts; only citations that were clearly irrelevant were excluded at this stage. Next, two review authors independently assessed full-text reports, identified relevant studies, evaluated the eligibility of the studies for inclusion, assessed trial quality and extracted data. The update of the literature search was performed by two independent review authors. We used Review Manager 5 for data synthesis and data analyses.Main resultsWe identified one randomised controlled trial including 541 participants that compared partial nephrectomy to radical nephrectomy. The median follow-up was 9.3 years.Based on low quality evidence, we found that time-to-death of any cause was decreased using partial nephrectomy (HR 1.50, 95% CI 1.03 to 2.18). This corresponds to 79 more deaths (5 more to 173 more) per 1000. Also based on low quality evidence, we found no difference in serious adverse events (RR 2.04, 95% CI 0.19 to 22.34). Findings are consistent with 4 more surgery-related deaths (3 fewer to 78 more) per 1000.Based on low quality evidence, we found no difference in time-to-recurrence (HR 1.37, 95% CI 0.58 to 3.24). This corresponds to 12 more recurrences (14 fewer to 70 more) per 1000. Due to the nature of reporting, we were unable to analyse overall rates for immediate and long-term adverse events. We found no evidence on haemodialysis or quality of life.Reasons for downgrading related to study limitations (lack of blinding, cross-over), imprecision and indirectness (a substantial proportion of patients were ultimately found not to have a malignant tumour). Based on the finding of a single trial, we were unable to conduct any subgroup or sensitivity analyses.Authors' conclusionsPartial nephrectomy may be associated with a decreased time-to-death of any cause. With regards to surgery-related mortality, cancer-specific survival and time-to-recurrence, partial nephrectomy appears to result in little to no difference.

Project description:The association between acute kidney injury (AKI) and long-term renal function after radical nephrectomy has not been evaluated fully. We reviewed 558 cases of radical nephrectomy. Postoperative AKI was defined by the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) serum creatinine criteria. Values of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were collected up to 36 months (median 35 months) after surgery. The primary outcome was new-onset chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3a or higher or all-cause mortality within three years after nephrectomy. The functional change ratio (FCR) of eGFR was defined as the ratio of the most recent GFR (24-36 months after surgery) to the new baseline during 3-12 months. A multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression analysis for new-onset CKD and a multivariable linear regression analysis for FCR were performed to evaluate the association between AKI and long-term renal outcomes. A correlation analysis was performed with the serum creatinine ratio and used to determine AKI and FCR. AKI occurred in 43.2% (n = 241/558) and our primary outcome developed in 40.5% (n = 226/558) of patients. The incidence of new-onset CKD was significantly higher in patients with AKI than those without at all follow-up time points after surgery. The Cox regression analysis showed a graded association between AKI and our primary outcome (AKI stage 1: Hazard ratio 1.71, 95% confidence interval 1.25-2.32; AKI stage 2 or 3: Hazard ratio 2.72, 95% confidence interval 1.78-4.10). The linear regression analysis for FCR showed that AKI was significantly associated with FCR (? = -0.168 ± 0.322, p = 0.011). There was a significant negative correlation between the serum creatinine ratio and FCR. In conclusion, our analysis demonstrated a robust and graded association between AKI after radical nephrectomy and long-term renal functional deterioration.

Project description:ObjectiveTo determine if there is a difference in proceeding to CKD between patients who had undergone radical nephrectomy (RN) and simple nephrectomy (SN) for different indications by comparing the short- and long-term renal function.Materials and methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the records of all patients who underwent nephrectomy (either for malign or benign indications) in our clinic between January 2007 and September 2017. The patients were divided into 2 groups according the type of surgery: 1) Radical nephrectomy Group, 2) Simple Nephrectomy Group. Renal function was evaluated with Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) calculated using the MDRD formula.ResultsA total of 276 patients were included in the study. There were 202 patients in RN Group and 74 patients in SN Group. The mean age of the patients in RN Group and SN Group were age 59,2 ± 11,5 and 49,9 ± 15,1 years, respectively (p = 0.001). GFR levels of patients in RN Group versus SN Group were as follows: Preoperative period: 84.9 vs. 81 mL/min/1.73 m2; postoperative 1st day: 60.5 vs. 84.4 mL/min/1.73 m2, postoperative 1st month 58.9 vs. 76 mL/min/1.73 m2, postoperative 1st year: 59.5 vs. 74.1 mL/min/1.73 m2; at last control 60.3 and 76.1 mL/min/1.73 m2. While preoperative GFR was found to be similar in two groups (p = 0.26), postoperative GFR values were found to be significantly lower in Group RN (p < 0.001). In comparison of the decrease in GFR in two groups at last follow-up, significantly higher decrease was observed in RN Group, 29% vs. 6%, (p < 0.05).ConclusionThe decrease in GFR exists more common and intensive after RN compared to SN. In long-term, compensation mechanisms that develop after sudden nephron loss like radical nephrectomy deteriorates kidney function more than gradual nephron loss as in benign etiologies which indicates simple nephrectomy.

Project description:We sought to investigate the association between intraoperative urine output and postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing radical and partial nephrectomy. We retrospectively reviewed data of 742 patients. Postoperative AKI was defined by the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. The relationship between intraoperative urine output and the risk of AKI was evaluated by multivariable logistic regression analysis in radical and partial nephrectomy, separately. Minimum P-value approach was used to find the optimal threshold of intraoperative oliguria associated with the risk of AKI. The incidence of AKI was 14.4% (67/466) after partial nephrectomy and 57.6% (159/276) after radical nephrectomy. For partial nephrectomy, multivariable analysis showed that renal ischemic time, operation time, open surgery and intraoperative transfusion were significantly associated with AKI. For radical nephrectomy, history of hypertension, baseline glomerular filtration rate and intraoperative mean urine output were significantly associated with AKI. Intraoperative mean urine output during radical nephrectomy was associated with AKI after radical nephrectomy, while not after partial nephrectomy. Mean urine output <1.0?mL/kg/h was determined to be an optimal cutoff of AKI after radical nephrectomy. Intraoperative oliguria may have different clinical implication for AKI between partial and radical nephrectomy.

Project description:ObjectiveTo identify the association between renal tumor complexity and pathologic renal sinus invasion (RSI) and evaluate the usefulness of computed tomography tumor features for predicting RSI in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).Materials and methodsThis retrospective study included 276 consecutive patients who underwent radical nephrectomy for RCC with a size of ≤ 7 cm between January 2014 and October 2017. Tumor complexity and anatomical renal sinus involvement were evaluated using two standardized scoring systems: the radius (R), exophytic or endophytic (E), nearness to collecting system or sinus (N), anterior or posterior (A), and location relative to polar lines (RENAL) nephrometry and preoperative aspects and dimensions used for anatomical classification (PADUA) system. CT-based tumor features, including shape, enhancement pattern, margin at the interface of the renal sinus (smooth vs. non-smooth), and finger-like projection of the mass, were also assessed by two independent radiologists. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify significant predictors of RSI. The positive predictive value, negative predictive value (NPV), accuracy of anatomical renal sinus involvement, and tumor features were evaluated.ResultsEighty-one of 276 patients (29.3%) demonstrated RSI. Among highly complex tumors (RENAL or PADUA score ≥ 10), the frequencies of RSI were 42.4% (39/92) and 38.0% (71/187) using RENAL and PADUA scores, respectively. Multivariable analysis showed that a non-smooth margin and the presence of a finger-like projection were significant predictors of RSI. Anatomical renal sinus involvement showed high NPVs (91.7% and 95.2%) but low accuracy (40.2% and 43.1%) for RSI, whereas the presence of a non-smooth margin or finger-like projection demonstrated comparably high NPVs (90.0% and 91.3% for both readers) and improved accuracy (67.0% and 73.9%, respectively).ConclusionA non-smooth margin or the presence of a finger-like projection can be used as a preoperative CT-based tumor feature for predicting RSI in patients with RCC.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate the prognostic significance of tumor size in pathological T3aN0M0 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treated by radical nephrectomy.Materials and methodsPatients who underwent radical nephrectomy for sporadic RCC with pathological T3aN0M0 RCC at our institution between January 2006 and June 2015 were identified. The entire cohort was divided into two groups according to the cutoff of tumor size obtained from receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Clinicopathological variables were retrospectively collected and compared. Kaplan-Meier analysis and multivariate Cox regression were conducted to evaluate the effect of tumor size on survival outcomes.Results163 pT3aN0M0 RCC patients were included with a median follow-up period of 31 months. The optimal cutoff for tumor size was 7 cm according to the ROC curve. 90 cases (55.2%) presented tumors which measured 7 cm or less, and 73 cases (44.8%) showed tumor size greater than 7 cm. Patients with larger tumors tended to exhibit higher rates of symptoms and higher Fuhrman grades; they also indicated more necrosis features, and were more likely to invade the collecting system and renal vein. Compared with patients who exhibited tumor size of≤7 cm, those with tumor size>7 cm were associated with shorter estimated five-year cancer-specific survival (CSS, 46.6% versus 75.0%, P = 0.003) and five-year recurrence-free survival (RFS, 35.6% versus 62.7%, P = 0.011). Multivariate Cox analysis revealed that tumor size was retained as an independent factor for CSS (HR = 2.506, 95% CI 1.169-5.373, P = 0.018).ConclusionsThe tumor size significantly affected the survival outcomes of pT3aN0M0 RCC treated by radical nephrectomy, and a cutoff size of 7 cm can help enhance the prognostic discrimination. Thus, the tumor size may be considered in the future TNM classification of stage pT3a.

Project description:BackgroundThe role of renal artery embolization (RAE) in the therapeutic armamentarium is always controversial. The present study aimed to assess the safety and the surgical outcomes of the instant renal artery embolization (I-RAE) prior to nephrectomy and thrombectomy in patients with locally advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with venous thrombus.MethodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of 54 patients treated with nephrectomy and thrombectomy between January 2012 and January 2019. Twenty-four patients were treated with I-RAE before surgery. Thirty patients received surgery alone (non-RAE group). The patient demographics, operation time, blood loss, transfusion requirements, complications, and other surgical parameters were analyzed between the two groups.ResultsThe mean tumor size in the I-RAE group was significantly larger than that in the non-RAE group (11.1 cm versus 7.9 cm; p = .001). The mean estimated blood loss was significantly lower in the I-RAE group compared to that in the non-RAE group (596 ml versus 827 ml; p = .015), and the patients in the non-RAE group were more likely to receive blood transfusion (red blood cell, RBC units, 4 U versus 6 U, p = .025; plasma volume, 200 ml versus 400 ml, p = .01). No differences were found in operative duration, ICU stay, perioperative complications, and length of postoperative hospitalization.ConclusionsInstant preoperative adjuvant renal artery embolization (I-RAE) is a safe technique. It facilitates nephrectomy and thrombectomy by reducing blood loss, transfusion requirements, and complications of delayed operations, providing urologists with a reliable option for treatment of locally advanced RCC with tumor thrombus.

Project description:BACKGROUND:A significant proportion of patients undergoing radical nephrectomy (RN) for clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) develop chronic kidney disease (CKD) within a few years following surgery. Chronic kidney disease has important health, social and economic impact and no predictive biomarkers are currently available. MicroRNAs (miRs) are small non-coding RNAs implicated in several pathological processes. METHODS:Primary objective of our study was to define miRs whose deregulation is predictive of CKD in patients treated with RN. Ribonucleic acid from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded renal parenchyma (cortex and medulla isolated separately) situated >3?cm from the matching RCC was tested for miR expression using nCounter NanoString technology in 71 consecutive patients treated with RN for RCC. Validation was performed by RT-PCR and in situ hybridisation. End point was post-RN CKD measured 12 months post-operatively. Multivariable logistic regression and decision curve analysis were used to test the statistical and clinical impact of predictors of CKD. RESULTS:The overexpression of miR-193b-3p was associated with high risk of developing CKD in patients undergoing RN for RCC and emerged as an independent predictor of CKD. The addition of miR-193b-3p to a predictive model based on clinical variables (including sex and estimated glomerular filtration rate) increased the sensitivity of the predictive model from 81 to 88%. In situ hybridisation showed that miR-193b-3p overexpression was associated with tubule-interstitial inflammation and fibrosis in patients with no clinical or biochemical evidence of pre-RN nephropathy. CONCLUSIONS:miR-193b-3p might represent a useful biomarker to tailor and implement surveillance strategies for patients at high risk of developing CKD following RN.
