Abstrakt: Introduction: This study aims to investigate whether the calcification of renal arteries and aorta may be risk factors for developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) after Nephron sparing surgery (NSS).
Materials and Methods: The patients that underwent either open or laparoscopic NSS from 2000 to 2019 in 4 different centers were retrospectively assessed. Of these patients, 328 had a non-contrast-enhanced computer tomography. Calcium scores of the renal arteries and abdominal aorta were measured in the non-contrast-enhanced images with the calcium score plugin (version 2.0) of Horos™. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine significant risk factors for developing CKD at the last check-up. Roc curve analysis was performed to determine the optimal cut-off values of age and abdominal aorta calcium scores.
Results: A total of 302 patients, of which 52 (16,6%) with CKD and 252 (83,4%) without CKD at the last check-up, were included in the analysis. The mean warm ischemia duration was significantly higher in patients with CKD (18,79±6,72 vs 16,38±5,57 minutes, p=0,016). The mean size of the tumor diameter and the number of the patients with ≥stage T1b were higher in the group with CKD (p=0,024 and 0,005, respectively). The median calcium scores of the aorta and renal arteries were higher in the group with CKD (p<0,001 and p<0,001, respectively). In multivariate analysis, age >60 years (OR:3,65, p=0,022), calcium score of the aorta (OR:4,07, p=0,029), tumor diameter (OR:1,03, p=0,026) and pre-operative CKD stage (OR:10,13, p<0,001) found the be significant factors for predicting last check-up CKD.
Conclusion: The calcium score of the aorta may be used as an additional risk factor to predict post-operative CKD risk after NSS with sensitivity over 80%.
