Popis: OBJECTIVE To examine the incidence of and risk factors for the development of anaemia and erythropoiesis-stimulation agent (ESA) treatment in patients undergoing radical nephrectomy (RN) and partial nephrectomy (PN) because anaemia is a significant cause of morbidity in chronic kidney disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study comprised a retrospective review of 905 patients (610 RN/295 PN; mean age, 57.5 years; mean follow-up, 6.4 years) who underwent surgery for renal tumours at two institutions from July 1987 to June 2007. Demographics, disease characteristics and pre- and postoperative (i.e. renal function, metabolic parameters, anaemia and ESA treatment) were recorded. Data were analyzed within subgroups based on treatment (RN vs PN). Multivariate analysis was conducted to determine the risk factors for developing anaemia after surgery. RESULTS Tumour size (cm) was significantly larger for RN (RN 7.0 vs PN 3.7; P < 0.001). No significant differences were noted with respect to demographics and preoperative anaemia (RN 16.4% vs PN 18.6%; P = 0.454) and ESA-treatment (RN 0.7% vs PN 1.4%; P = 0.499). After surgery, significantly less de novo anaemia (PN 4.1% vs RN 17.5%; P < 0.001) and ESA utilization (PN 2.7% vs RN 13.4%; P < 0.001) occurred in the PN cohort. Multivariate analysis showed that age ≥60 years (odds ratio, OR, 1.62; P = 0.008), African American ethnicity (OR, 2.30; P < 0.001), smoking (OR, 1.60; P = 0.013), glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
