Summary: | To investigate renal functional outcomes of surveillance, embolization, and surgery for angiomyolipomas (AML).
Longitudinal data regarding patients with AML were analyzed retrospectively in this 2-center study. Demographic, radiographic, and functional data were tabulated according to treatment type. Primary outcome was change in renal function from diagnosis to within 6 months postdiagnosis (interim) and to latest glomerular filtration rate (GFR) assessment.
318 patients were diagnosed with AMLs; mean follow-up was 6.2 years. 184 patients (57.9%) were managed with surveillance, 30 (9.4%) underwent embolization, and 103 (32.4%) underwent surgery (91 partial nephrectomy; 12 radical nephrectomy). Baseline characteristics, including tumor size, age, and race differed between the 3 groups (P |
