Data regarding covariates significantly associated with sarcopenia and varying albumin statuses in patients with renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Poor functional, nutritional, and muscle status is a significant negative predictor for surgical and survival outcomes in patients with cancer, including renal cell carcinoma. This dataset displays results from preoperative muscle composition analysis and albumin levels in a large cohort (n = 473) of patients undergoing surgery for renal cell carcinoma. Data was obtained from retrospective review of prospectively maintained databases and retrospective image analysis. The optimal cut-point for skeletal muscle index (sarcopenia) was determined by a receiver operatic characteristic analysis to optimally stratify cohort, adjusting for BMI and sex. A threshold value of 3.5 g/dL was used to categorize normal versus low serum albumin. Patients were stratified into low risk (non-sarcopenic
