RENAL Nephrometry Score

RENAL nephrometry (Kutikov & Uzzo 2009)

Standardized anatomic complexity score (Kutikov & Uzzo 2009) for solid renal masses, summing radius, exophytic/endophytic growth, nearness to the collecting system, anterior/posterior location, and polar-line relationship, with an "h" suffix for hilar contact.

Also searched as: kidney · renal mass · partial nephrectomy · genitourinary

(R) Largest tumor diameter
(E) Exophytic/endophytic
(N) Nearness to collecting system/sinus
(A) Anterior/posterior relative to hilar coronal plane
(L) Location relative to polar lines
Touches the main renal artery or vein (hilar suffix "h")
