Abstract

BACKGROUND: Hypertension (HTN) is a global public health issue. There are limited data regarding the effects of HTN in patients undergoing partial nephrectomy (PN) for renal tumors. To address this void, we tested the association between HTN and renal function after minimally invasive PN (MIPN).

METHODS: Using a multi-institutional database (2007-2017), we identified patients aged ≥ 18 years with a diagnosis of cT1 renal tumors treated with MIPN. Kaplan-Meier plots and Cox regression models addressed newly-onset CKD stage ≥ 3b or higher (sCKD). All analyses were repeated after 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM).

RESULTS: Overall, 2144 patients were identified. Of those, 35% (

CONCLUSIONS: Yes-HTN patients exhibited worse renal function after MIPN when compared to their no-HTN counterparts. However, these observations need to be further tested in a prospective cohort study.
