We examined the significance of preoperative proteinuria on postoperative kidney function after robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 1121 consecutive RPN cases at a single academic center from 2006 to 2016. Patients without pre-existing CKD (eGFR≥60 mL/min/1.73m2) who had a urinalysis within 1-month prior to RPN were included. The cohort was categorized by the presence or absence of preoperative proteinuria (≥30 mg/dL), and groups were compared in terms of clinical and functional outcomes. The incidence of AKI was assessed using RIFLE criteria. Univariate and multivariable models were used to identify predictors of postoperative AKI. RESULTS Of 947 patients, 97 (10.5%) had preoperative proteinuria. Characteristics associated with preoperative proteinuria included non-white race (p<0.01), preoperative diabetes (p<0.01) and hypertension (HTN) (p<0.01), higher ASA (p<0.01), higher BMI (p<0.01), and higher Charlson score (p<0.01). The incidence of AKI was higher in patients with preoperative proteinuria (10.3% vs. 4.6%, p=0.01). The median eGFR preservation measured within one month after surgery was lower (83.6% vs. 91%, p=0.04) in those with proteinuria; however, there were no significant differences by 3 months after surgery or last follow-up visit. Independent predictors of AKI were high BMI (p<0.01), longer ischemia time (p<0.01), and preoperative proteinuria (p=0.02). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative proteinuria by urine dipstick is an independent predictor of postoperative AKI after RPN. This test may be used to identify patients, especially those without overt CKD, who are at increased risk for developing AKI after RPN. © 2017FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 197Issue 4SApril 2017Page: e971-e972 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2017MetricsAuthor Information Önder Kara More articles by this author Matthew J.
