Renal function recovery after nephrectomy or nephron-sparing surgery in children with unilateral renal tumor
Introduction Children with unilateral renal tumor (URT) and preoperative renal
dysfunction (PRD) may benefit from nephron-sparing surgery (NSS). To test this
hypothesis, we studied the outcome of baseline renal function after nephrectomy or
NSS among children with URT.
Materials and Methods Retrospective records review of children with URT who
underwent nephrectomy (25 children) or NSS (11 children) at our institution. We
analyzed the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) changes over time among
