Defining Risk Categories for a Significant Decline in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate After Robotic Partial Nephrectomy: Implications for Patient Follow-up

Following partial nephrectomy (PN), it is important to prevent any deterioration in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). At present there are no evidence-based recommendations on when a nephrology consultation should be requested and how to adjust postoperative management when the risk of renal function decline is high. In an effort to address this void, we used our previously published nomogram to define risk groups for a significant...
