title: Chronic kidney disease in patients with ileal conduit urinary diversion.
abstract: While renal dysfunction is often observed in patients following urinary diversion due to bladder cancer, there have been few studies on this subject. A cross-sectional study was performed on the renal function of ileal conduit urinary diversion patients and the prevalence and risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD) were examined. Patients with ileal conduit urinary diversion (n=102), who were being followed-up as outpatients and who were in stable condition, as well as age- and gender-matched healthy control subjects (n=63) were selected for this study. The prevalence of CKD was compared between the patients and healthy subjects. Next, the clinical factors associated with the presence of CKD were investigated in the patients with ileal conduit diversion using logistic regression analysis. The prevalence of CKD was significantly higher in the patients with ileal conduit diversion compared with the healthy subjects [60 patients (58.8%) vs. 11 healthy subjects (17.5%), P<0.0001]. The mean decrease in the estimated glomerular filtration rate per year of the patients with urinary diversion was 0.95±2.0 ml/min/1.73 m(2). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that the independent and significant factors associated with the presence of CKD were older age and the presence of hypertension, urolithiasis and a past history of hydronephrosis. In conclusion, an increased prevalence of CKD was revealed in the patients with ileal conduit urinary diversion, suggesting the need for better management of hypertension, urolithiasis and hydronephrosis following surgery.
