Abstract Background: We previously reported that the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was decreased among survivors of unilateral, non-metastatic, non-syndromic Wilms tumor (WT) treated with whole abdomen radiation therapy (WART) compared to controls, but not compared to unirradiated WT survivors (Pediatr Blood Cancer 2020;67:e28271). The impact of sex on estimates of kidney function among adult survivors of WT has not been well-documented. Methods: We clinically evaluated male and female WT survivors with creatinine and cystatin C, calculated eGFR using the Chronic Kidney Disease - Epidemiology (CKD-EPI) equations with and without cystatin C and measured 99mTc diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) plasma clearance. WT survivors consisted of 20 treated with unilateral nephrectomy (UN), non-nephrotoxic chemotherapy (NNC) and whole abdomen radiation therapy (WART) (mean - 20.2 Gray (Gy); standard deviation (SD) - 9.12 Gy), and 20 treated with UN, no radiation therapy, and NNC. Correlations between 99mTc DTPA clearance and eGFR were calculated. Results: Among female WT survivors, none of the eGFR calculations was statistically significantly correlated with 99mTc DTPA clearance. Among male WT survivors, 99mTc DTPA clearance correlated well with eGFR calculations that included creatinine. Results are shown in the Table. Conclusions: Among female survivors of unilateral, non-metastatic, non-syndromic WT who have undergone UN, eGFR is poorly correlated with 99mTc DTPA clearance. Evaluation of treatment-related changes in body composition may provide insight into these results.
