BACKGROUND: Living kidney donors are screened pre-donation to estimate the risk of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). We evaluate Machine Learning (ML) to predict the progression of kidney function deterioration over time using the estimated GFR (eGFR)...

Partial nephrectomy, the gold standard treatment for renal tumors, is performed with clamping of the renal arteries, in order to interrupt the blood flowing towards the tumor. However, the temporary interruption of arterial flow may lead to ischemia ...
BACKGROUND: Accurate prediction of renal function following kidney donation and careful selection of living donors are essential for living-kidney donation programs. We aimed to develop a prediction model for post-donation renal function following li...
BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common adverse outcome following nephrectomy. The progression from AKI to acute kidney disease (AKD) and subsequently to chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains a concern; yet, the predictive mechanisms for the...
There are few analyses comparing complete nephrectomy with resection of the renal parenchyma only (CN) or radical nephrectomy that includes simultaneous resection of the parenchyma, affected perirenal fascia, perirenal fat, and ureter (RN) relative t...
OBJECTIVE: Renal Tumor biopsy (RTB) can assist clinicians in determining the most suitable approach for treatment of renal cancer. However, RTB's limitations in accurately determining histology and grading have hindered its broader adoption and data ...

BACKGROUND: The increasing use of kidneys from elderly donors raises concerns due to age-related nephron loss. Combined with nephrectomy, this loss of nephrons markedly increases the risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aimed t...
BACKGROUND: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a common severe complication after radical nephrectomy in patients with renal cancer. The timely and accurate prediction of the long-term progression of renal function post-surgery is crucial for early inte...
PURPOSE: To create a computer-aided prediction (CAP) system to predict Wilms tumor (WT) responsiveness to preoperative chemotherapy (PC) using pre-therapy contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT).
OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of artificial intelligence based augmented reality intraoperative real-time navigation in minimally invasive partial nephrectomy to standardize renal hilum dissection procedures and improve operative efficiency.
