Background and Objectives : to investigate the impact of age on renal function deterioration after robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) focusing on a decline to moderate and severe forms of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Materials and Methods : This is a single center prospective analysis of patients who underwent RAPN. The outcomes include the development of de novo CKD-S 3a [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 )] and de novo CKD-S 3b (eGFR < 45 mL/min/1.73/m2 ). Multivariable analysis (MVA) via Cox regression identified predictors for CKD-S 3a/b...
