Our study investigates renal outcomes of these modalities. METHODS: Two-center (UCSD, Spectrum Health) retrospective analysis of AML patients treated with AS, embolization, or nephrectomy. Demographics and renal function were collected. Primary outcome included renal function, by treatment type, at three timepoints: diagnosis, interim (6-12 months post-diagnosis), and latest. CKD was grouped as 1 (>90), 2a (75-90), 2b (60-75), 3a (45-60), 3b (30-45), 4 (15-30), 5 (<15). RESULTS: 318 patients diagnosed with AMLs were identified with a median follow-up of 3.3 years. 184 (57.9%) underwent AS, 30 (9.4%) underwent embolization, 103 (32.4%) underwent nephrectomy, and 1 (0.3%) underwent radiofrequency ablation. Of the 103 surgical patients, 62 (60.2%) had minimally-invasive partial nephrectomy (PN), 31 (30.1%) had open PN, 3 (2.9%) had laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (RN), and 7 (6.8%) had open RN. Baseline features of AS, embolization, and nephrectomy groups were different in respect to age, sex, and race (p<0.05). The average AML size at diagnosis was 2.1cm for AS, 5.3cm for embolization, and 4.9cm for nephrectomy (p<0.001). When compared to diagnosis GFR, the interim % change in GFR showed a greater decrease for embolization (-14.0%) when compared to AS (-4.1%) and nephrectomy (-11.8%)(p=0.04). Interim CKD stage worsened in AS (26.6%), embolization (26.7%), and nephrectomy (21.4%)(p<0.001). The latest % change in GFR showed a greater decrease for nephrectomy (-14.7%) when compared to AS (-6.6%) and embolization (-14.1%)(p=0.03). Latest CKD stage worsened from diagnosis in AS (42.4%), embolization (53.3%), and nephrectomy (39.8%)(p=0.004). CONCLUSIONS: Reduced renal function is commonly observed over time in AML patients, whether managed conservatively, with embolization, or with surgery. Even so, the majority of AS and surgical patients and slightly less than half of embolization patients had no evidence of worsening CKD stage at latest follow-up. Renal functional surveillance should be obligatory for all AML patients; within the limitations of this retrospective study, surgical intervention appears an appropriate treatment option for selected AML.
