Knowing the relation between decrease in the number of nephrons and progressing kidney damage caused by it in the experimental model, we can treated each nephrectomy from medical reasons as a risk factor for development of chronic kidney disease \(CKD\). Epidemiological data in Europe and in the world show that chronic kidney disease is a serious social problem and, besides cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity and hypertension, is included amongst civilisation diseases. In most of the countries, renal screenings registered frequency of the stage 5 chronic kidney disease, only in the recent studies data concerning all CKD stages were collected together, on a basis of albuminuria or an incorrect value of the glomerular filtration rate.In the current bibliography no studies are available covering large groups of patients that would estimate the nephrectomy effect on functioning of the remaining kidney and on development of possible cardiovascular complications. More specific data assessing effects of nephrectomy provide studies carried out in animals. Recently published data concerning studies in a large group of kidney donors consider that problem mainly in terms of them being at risk of developing chronic kidney disease, but they unfortunately do not provide information concerning development of chronic kidney disease at all its stages in patients after nephrectomy or an assessment of risk of developing cardiovascular diseases in persons with a reduced number of functioning nephrons. Diagnosing kidney disease at an early stage and correct management of a patient with mild kidney disease results in a slower disease progression, or may even help to prevent its development\; therefore, awareness of that risk inclines us to act in accordance with the adage “prevention is better than cure”, which is not only better for a patient but also from an economic point of view.Aim of the study.The aim of this study was a retrospective analysis of clinical effects of nephrectomy, taking into account\: indications for nephrectomy, evaluation of a functional status of the sole kidney based on\:USG scan, serum creatinine levels, eGFR estimated with the MDRD and Cockcroft\- Gault methods as well as, occurrence of proteinuria in patients before and after nephrectomy.Addictionally hypertension in patients after nephrectomy. complications in the postoperative period and cardiovascular complicationswere evaluated."]
