Abstract
To evaluate the incidence and predictors of acute kidney injury after clampless partial nephrectomy, and its impact on intermediate-term renal function. The incidence and severity of acute kidney injury were assessed for 262 patients undergoing clampless partial nephrectomy between 2010 and 2015. The association between perioperative covariates and acute kidney injury was evaluated using multivariate logistic regression analysis. An annual change in estimated glomerular filtration rate from 1year after surgery was calculated according to the presence or absence of acute kidney injury. An impact of acute kidney injury on postoperative renal impairment, defined as a ≥25% estimated glomerular filtration rate decrease, was evaluated. Overall, 21 (8.0%) patients experienced grade1 acute kidney injury after clampless partial nephrectomy, and grade≥2 acute kidney injury was not observed. High tumor complexity was the only independent predictor of acute kidney injury. Estimated glomerular filtration rate in patients with acute kidney injury improved within 1year, and annual estimated glomerular filtration rate changes were similar among patients with or without acute kidney injury. Ultimately, 13 (5.0%) patients showed postoperative renal impairment during the median follow-up period of 37months. Advanced age and diabetes mellitus were independent risk factors for renal impairment, but acute kidney injury was not. The incidence and severity of acute kidney injury after clampless partial nephrectomy are low. Low-grade acute kidney injury after clampless partial nephrectomy does not seem to affect intermediate-term renal function.
