Abstract

Aim of the Study: In the pre-operatory assessment of patient with Renal Cell Cancer (RCC) it is vital to have new predictors of estimated glomerular Lltration rate (eGFR) decrease. The objective of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of the CT evaluation of kidney volumes and visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue in the prediction of a decrease of eGFR at 12 months after surgery.
