From: Aortic calcification burden predicts deterioration of renal function after radical nephrectomy
The 5-year eGFR prediction model after radical nephrectomy. The formula to predict 5-year eGFR was developed by linear regression analysis including three key factors (age, preoperative eGFR, and ACI). The formula is: Y (estimated 5 years eGFR) = (0.351 x preoperative eGFR) + (−0.232 x age) + (−0.208 x ACI) + 41.758. The predicted 5-year eGFR is significantly correlated with actual eGFR at 5 years after radical nephrectomy
