Popis: In pre-clinical studies, acute erythropoietin (EPO) administration has been shown to mitigate the deleterious effects of ischemia/reperfusion injury. We reviewed our clinical experience with intraoperative EPO administration as a potential renoprotective agent during laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN). Patients who underwent LPN at our institution between August 2008 and March 2010 received 500 IU/kg EPO 30 min prior to hilar occlusion. Those who underwent LPN between August 2006 and July 2008 without receiving EPO were selected as controls. Demographic, clinical, perioperative, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) data were compared for the cohorts preoperatively, and during short-term (
