Partial Nephrectomy for the Treatment of Renal Cell Carcinoma and the Risk of End Stage Renal Disease

The surgical management of renal masses involves either radical nephrectomy (RN) or partial nephrectomy (PN). The relationship between treatment choice and definitive outcomes of CKD are lacking. Our aim was to examine whether PN is associated with a lower risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT).
We performed a population-based, retrospective cohort study with data from administrative databases in the province of Ontario, Canada. We included individuals with renal cell carcinoma diagnosed between 1995 and 2010. Cox proportional hazards, propensity score, and competing risks models were used to assess the impact of treatment.
PN compared to RN reduces the risk of ESRD in a modern cohort of patients (2003-2010). PN is associated with a lower risk of CKD, reduced cardiac morbidity, and improved overall survival. We provide further evidence for the benefit of PN compared to RN, particularly related to definitive outcomes of renal failure.
