Popis: Aims: Chronic kidney disease is a significant risk factor for several comorbidities and death. The longitudinal change in renal function after nephroureterectomy in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinomas and the risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) was investigated. Materials and methods: This retrospective study included 186 patients who underwent unilateral nephroureterectomy between 1997 and 2001. Creatinine data prior to and after the surgery were collected and the estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) were calculated with the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation. Results: The cohort of 186 patients included 87 men and 99 women with a mean age of 67.2 years. Preoperative mean eGFR was 41.97 mL/minute/1.73 m2. Eighty six percent of the patients' preoperative eGFR were
