Table 5. Correlation of Factors With Magnitude of Long-Term eGFR Decline (N = 68).

Factor Correlation coefficient (Pearson/Tau) P-value Interpretation (direction of decline)
Total RENAL score −0.454 (inverse) < 0.001 Correlates with greater decline
Tumor size −0.500 (inverse) < 0.001 Correlates with greater decline
Intraoperative blood loss −0.353 (inverse) 0.012 Correlates with greater decline
Pre-operative eGFR 0.546 (positive) < 0.001 Correlates with less decline (protective)
eGFR of contralateral kidney 0.349 (positive) 0.014 Correlates with less decline (protective)

eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate.
