RENAL_Nephrometry_Score v.1

Radius (cm). Largest diameter in any single plane.

Exophytic/endophytic (% mass exophytic (protruding out) vs. endophytic (contained) relative to renal parenchyma)

Nearness to collecting system or sinus (mm). (Measure shortest distance)

Anterior/posterior. (Primary location of tumor relative to coronal plane at level of hilar vessels)

Location relative to polar lines

Hilar tumor (Touching renal artery or vein)

RENAL Nephrometry Score categorizes renal masses by complexity for surgical decision-making.

To categorize renal masses by complexity for surgical decision-making.

RENAL Nephrometry Score Complexity Complication Rate 4–6 Low 6.4% 7–9 Intermediate 11.1% 10–12 High 21.9% If Anterior: add suffix A If Posterior: add sufffix P If Neither: add suffix X Hilar tumor - if touching renal artery or vein: add suffix H Polar lines: Entirely above or below polar lines 1p Crosses a polar line 2 p >50% diameter across polar line, contained entirely within polar lines, or crosses renal axial midline 3 p
