Objectives: Our objectives were to evaluate the long-term renal function after radical cystectomy (RC) and ileal conduit diversion (ICD) and to analyze year-by-year the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and morphologic upper urinary tract changes. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively identified 214 patients who had undergone RC and ICD from 2012 to 2018, with regular postoperative follow-up visits. The eGFR was calculated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation at baseline and during follow-up. A renal function decrease was defined as a greater than 10 mL/min/1.73 m2 reduction in the estimated glomerular filtration rate. Results: The median follow-up period after RC was 24 months (range, 6-60 months). The median eGFR decreased from 64 mL/min/1.73 m2 (range, 9-125 mL/min/1.73 m2) to 61.5 mL/min/1.73 m2 (range, 8-125 mL/min/1.73 m2). A decline in renal function occurred during the first postoperative years (2.74 mL/ min/1.73 m2 and 3.95 mL/min/1.73 m2 in the first and second year, respectively), with a slight decrease in the subsequent years. The strongest predictor of an eGFR decline was CKD stage 1 or 2 (> 60 mL/min/1.73 m2). Urinary obstruction was diagnosed in 6 patients (2.8%). Among the patients who underwent prompt interventional treatment, we did not find any association with the eGFR decline. Conclusion: Patients with urinary ICD have a lifelong risk of chronic kidney disease. Regular monitoring of renal function and the morphologic upper urinary tract will permit early diagnosis and treatment of modifiable factors, avoiding irreversible kidney damage.

Preoperative renal function is associated with worse outcomes in patients undergoing radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). The purpose of this systemic review and meta-analysis was to determine the association of preoperative renal function with oncological outcome in patients who underwent RNU. We searched articles published up to March 2021 in PubMed, Scopus, and Embase by combining “urothelial carcinoma”, “radical nephroureterectomy”, and “estimated glomerular filtration rate”. We also manually screened the reference list for publications following general guidelines recommended by the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement. The relationship between preoperative renal function and survival was expressed as overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS). This review and meta-analysis included 13 studies involving a total of 4668 patients who received RNU. Pooled analysis showed significant negative association of preoperative renal function with PFS (HR: 1.51, 95% CI: 1.23–1.80, p < 0.00001), CSS (HR: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.38–1.92, p < 0.00001), and OS (HR: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.10–1.35, p < 0.00001). Patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) who received RNU showed a significant negative association of preoperative renal function with survival.
