Antonelli A, et al. - Researchers sought to identify the predictors of short and long-term renal function impairment after partial nephrectomy. The findings shed light on the prominent link between surgical modifiable factors with a worse immediate and early functional outcome after partial nephrectomy. On the other hand, the clinical unmodifiable factors exerted an impact on the renal function during the entire follow-up. Late renal function impairment served as an independent predictor of the development of postoperative cardiovascular events.
