Abstract: Objective To compare long-term incidence rate of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients after tumor nephrectomy (TN) and donor nephrectomy (DN) and to evaluate risk factors for developing CKD. Materials and methods Data from 1048 patients who performed TN (552) and DN (496) between 2000 and 2018 at Siriraj hospital were retrospectively analyzed. We obtained 106 patients for each group after using a 1:1 propensity score matching by age and preoperative glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The incidence rate of CKD and risk factors for CKD stage ≥3 were evaluated. Results There were no differences in incidence of CKD between TN (26.4 %) and DN group (24.5 %) with median follow-up time of 4.95 and 6.05 years (p = 0.308). There were no differences in mean GFR postoperatively at up to ten years follow-up (p = 0.378). The GFR at last follow-up was 71.15 and 68.1 ml/min/1.73 m 2 in TN and DN groups (p = 0.172). The TN showed more proteinuria than DN group but not for postoperative hypertension. The multivariate analysis showed age 47 years (p = 0.012) and preoperative GFR 100 (p = 0.001) as a risk factor for developing CKD after nephrectomy but not for type for nephrectomy (p = 0.753). Conclusion The risk of developing CKD in patients after tumor nephrectomy was the same as in living kidney donors who were matched by age and preoperative GFR. Age over 47 years and preoperative GFR <100 of patients should be considered risk factors for developing CKD in patients choosing nephrectomy as the treatment of choice.
