OBJECTIVE: The nephrometry score, which is determined from cross-sectional imaging, stratifies renal masses into low, intermediate, and high complexity. The purpose of this article is to understand how the score is determined and review the five key features that contribute to the nephrometry score. CONCLUSION: The scoring system has implications for surgical planning and has been widely adopted by urologists but is less familiar to radiologists.
