Progressive decline in renal function from new baseline glomerular filtration rate (GFR) after surgery for renal cancer. Patients with no CKD or CKD-S have a significantly lower risk of progression then patients with CKD-M/S. The CKD-M/S cohort is further subdivided into those with preoperative stage 3a (n=430, GFR 45–59ml/min/1.73 m2), stage 3b (n=214, 30–44ml/min/1.73 m2), and stage 4 (n=81, 15–29ml/min/1.73 m2) CKD. CKD=chronic kidney disease; CKD-S=CKD due to surgical removal of nephrons; CKD-M/S=CKD due to medical and surgical causes; GFR=glomerular filtration rate; eGFR estimated GFR.

(A) All-cause mortality and (B) non–renal cancer mortality after renal cancer surgery according to CKD group. There are significant differences (p<0.001) between patients with no CKD, CKD-S, and CKD-M/S. The CKD-M/S cohort is further subdivided into those with stage 3a (n=715, 45–59ml/min/1.73 m2), stage 3b (n=366, 30–44ml/min/1.73 m2), and stage 4 (n=153, 15–29ml/min/1.73 m2) CKD. CKD=chronic kidney disease; CKD-S=CKD due to surgical removal of nephrons; CKD-M/S=CKD due to medical and surgical causes.

The 5-yr probability of (A) a ≥50% decline in renal function from new baseline GFR and (B) all-cause mortality according to new baseline GFR. Multivariable analyses adjusted for age, gender, race, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiac disease. Estimates and 95% confidence intervals are indicated for CKD-S and CKD-M/S groups. The risks are higher for CKD-M/S than for CKD-S, and increase when new baseline GFR is less than approximately 45ml/min/1.73 m2. CKD=chronic kidney disease; CKD-S=CKD due to surgical removal of nephrons; CKD-M/S=CKD due to medical and surgical causes; GFR=glomerular filtration rate.
