Key Points

Evaluate the accuracy of a predictive model for post-operative renal function after partial nephrectomy.
Applied the predictive model to clinical trial patients.
Measured GFR using 99mTc-DTPA plasma clearance.
Conducted validation across a population undergoing partial nephrectomy.
The model performed well in predicting post-operative GFR.
It can assist in counseling patients about expected renal function outcomes.

Abstract

A recently developed model to predict post-operative GFR performed well when applied to clinical trial patients that had GFR measured using 99mTc-DTPA plasma clearance. This model can be utilized as a component of informed decision-making when counseling patients on expected outcomes following partial nephrectomy.
