Hypothermia Trial

• Results:

• 161 patients analyzed

• Similar baseline GFR in 2 groups

• Change in GFR at 1 year on DTPA renal scan:

• -6.6ml/min/1.73m Hypothermia
2

• -7.8ml/min/1.73m Control
2

• No difference noted in pre-planned subgroups

• Conclusion: Renal hypothermia during ischemia in partial

nephrectomy does not preserve kidney fct
