Impact of Acute Kidney Injury and Its Duration on Long-term Renal Function After Partial Nephrectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between acute kidney injury (AKI) and long-term renal function is controversial. The influence of AKI duration on functional recovery after partial nephrectomy has never been investigated.

Objective

To investigate the association between AKI and renal function 1yr after partial nephrectomy, and whether this relationship is affected by the duration of AKI.

Design, setting, and participants

We analyzed the data of 1893 patients treated by partial nephrectomy for a single cT1 N0 M0 renal mass.

Outcome measurements and statistical analysis

We defined three outcomes of interest: (1) recovery of at least 90% of baseline function 1yr after partial nephrectomy, (2) percentage change of 1-yr renal function compared with baseline function, and
