Impact of adjusted kidney volume measured in the bench surgery on one-year renal function in kidney transplantation.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice in patient with end stage chronic kidney disease, offering the best long term survival and greater Quality of Life in this group of patients. Graft volume was correlated with improved renal function in living donor transplantations. The primary aim of this study was to correlate renal volume adjusted to body surface area with renal function one year (estimated glomerular filtration rate; eGFR) after kidney transplantation. METHODS:This single-center, prospective cohort study included 256 patients who underwent kidney transplantation from January 2011 through December 2015 at Hospital das Clínicas de Botucatu-UNESP. We evaluated three kidney measurements during the bench surgery; the final graft volume was calculated using the ell
