    Preoperative proteinuria is associated with a higher incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) after partial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

  • 2

    Patients with preoperative proteinuria had consistently lower mean eGFR values post-surgery compared to those without proteinuria.

  • 3

    Lower baseline eGFR is identified as an independent predictor of CKD stage III or higher after nephrectomy.

  • 4

    The study included 295 patients, with 7.4% presenting preoperative proteinuria, highlighting its relevance in renal function outcomes.

  • 5

    Older age and lower baseline eGFR were significant predictors of CKD progression, while preoperative proteinuria's predictive value remains debated.
