RENAL Nephrometry Score

R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score quantifying the anatomical complexity of a renal mass for surgical planning. The A component is a descriptive suffix (no points).

(R) Radius: Maximal Diameter
(E) Exophytic / Endophytic
(N) Nearness to Collecting System / Sinus
(L) Location Relative to Polar Lines

Result

4a

Sum of R + E + N + L, with the “a” anterior/posterior suffix.

Low complexity (4–6)
Formula

Score = R + E + N + L (each 1–3). A is a descriptive suffix (a/p/x).

References
Disclaimer

A hilar (h) suffix is added when the mass abuts the main renal artery/vein. The score aids surgical planning but does not by itself dictate management.
