Lower pre-operative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a predictor of post-operative chronic kidney disease. Some studies suggest cystatin c (Cys C) may be a more precise and accurate measure with which to calculate eGFR than serum creatinine (SCr). The purpose of this study is to determine whether Cys C and eGFR utilizing Cys C will correlate more strongly with post-operative renal function (presence of proteinuria and renal parenchymal volume) when compared to SCr and creatinine-based eGFR. METHODS: Prospective patients undergoing partial (PN) or radical nephrectomy (RN) had SCr, Cys C, and SCr and Cys C-based GFR measured pre-operatively (within 3 months of surgery), on post-operative day 1 (POD1), and 3-6 months after surgery. Preoperative and post-operative abdomen CT or MRI studies were obtained. Slice-O-Matic software (TomoVision, Magog, Canada) was used to outline kidney parenchyma and renal masses (shown in figure 1) and construct 3-D measurements estimating renal volume. RESULTS: Of our 53 patients, 35 patients (66%) underwent RN and 18 (34%) underwent PN. Cys C measured pre-operatively (r= -.35, p=.015) and on POD1 (r=-.40, p=.004) inversely correlated to post-operative kidney volume. SCr measured preoperatively (r=.-34, p=.016) and on POD1 (r=.-31, p=.028) demonstrated inverse correlation with post-operative kidney volume. POD1 Cys C (r=.33, p=.023) and SCr (r=.33, p=.026) correlated with presence of proteinuria at 3-6 months post-nephrectomy. eGFR at pre-operative visit and on POD1 utilizing Cys C-based (r=.32, p=.026; r=.45,p=.001, respectively) and creatinine-based CKD-EPI (r=.50, p=.000; r=.47, p=.001, respectively) formulas demonstrated a direct relationship to post-operative kidney volume. eGFR calculated from creatinine based CKD-EPI demonstrated an inverse correlation to presence of proteinuria at 3-6 months post-operatively (r=-.33, p =.027). CONCLUSIONS: Cystatin C as well as Cys C-based eGFR measured preoperatively and on POD1 may have some utility in estimating post-surgical renal volume and function. Further studies are needed to determine the utility of Cys C levels in predicting renal function and risk of renal dysfunction following nephrectomy.
