Search for: [Abstract = "average size of kidneys\: length and width as estimated by the ultrasound scan, was analysed for change in the size following nephrectomy, and it was found that the average length and width of the sole kidney remaining after nephrectomy in the long\-term observation increased by 20.54 mm, representing 20.2% of the initial dimension before the operation, and by 6.88 mm, representing 13.5%, respectively, and that was statistically significant for p=0.000. It was also found that average creatinine serum levels increased both in an early and in the long\-term observation by 25.39 mmol\/l and by 4.32 mmol\/l, respectively, and that was statistically significant for p<0\/0001. At the same time a correlation was found between a creatinine level in the long term observation and the age, with p=0.01. It was also verified whether the size of the kidney in the long term observation was correlated with the eGFR value \(Cockcroft\-Gault\) during control after long time from nephrectomy. A correlation was found between eGFR and the kidney length and width in the long term observation, and the age, significance p<0.05. On a basis of calculations it was found that the average eGFR level calculated using the MDRD formula was lower after nephrectomy, both during the early and the long\-term observation, by 2.58 ml\/min\/1.73 and by 6.81 ml\/min\/1.73, respectively. Those differences were statistically signif"]
