Renal cortical volume: High correlation with pre- and post-operative renal function in living kidney donors
European Journal of Radiology Jan 05, 2018
Gardan E, et al. - The experts embraced this study to evaluate the relevance of 3 CT volumetry techniques for estimating pre-donation kidney function and predicting the risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD) at 1-year post-nephrectomy in a French cohort of living donors using isotopic measures of kidney function. For estimating pre-donation split renal function and predicting post-donation renal outcomes, renal cortical volume (RCoV) appeared as the best volumetric technique to use as a surrogate to scintigraphy in this cohort of healthy donors with measured kidney function.
