Abstract
We aimed to determine the effect of the access sheath diameter used in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) on renal function. We also investigated the predictors of impaired renal function. Data were prospectively collected from patients who underwent PNL from December 2020 to December 2021. The patients were randomized into two groups according to access sheath diameter: Group 1 (22 Fr, n = 44) and Group 2 (28 Fr, n = 44). Relative renal function (RRF) was calculated by technetium-99 m dimercaptosuccinic acid scintigraphy, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was calculated by diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid scintigraphy. A difference of 5% or more in RRF was considered a significant functional change. Preoperative and postoperative Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1) levels were measured. Preoperative demographic data and stone characteristics were similar between the groups. There were also no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of scar development, changes in RRF, GFR, or KIM-1/creatinine (Cr) (p > 0.05). Significant deterioration in RRF was detected in a total of six (6.8%) patients, three in each group. The factors predicting loss of function were analyzed by regrouping the patients without loss of function as Group A (n = 82) and those with loss as Group B (n = 6). Only stone volume was statistically significant in multivariate analysis (p = 0.002). Access sheath diameter had no significant effect on renal function after PNL. However, the stone volume was found to independently correlate to a loss of renal function after PNL.
期刊介绍:
Official Journal of the International Urolithiasis Society
The journal aims to publish original articles in the fields of clinical and experimental investigation only within the sphere of urolithiasis and its related areas of research. The journal covers all aspects of urolithiasis research including the diagnosis, epidemiology, pathogenesis, genetics, clinical biochemistry, open and non-invasive surgical intervention, nephrological investigation, chemistry and prophylaxis of the disorder. The Editor welcomes contributions on topics of interest to urologists, nephrologists, radiologists, clinical biochemists, epidemiologists, nutritionists, basic scientists and nurses working in that field.
Contributions may be submitted as full-length articles or as rapid communications in the form of Letters to the Editor. Articles should be original and should contain important new findings from carefully conducted studies designed to produce statistically significant data. Please note that we no longer publish articles classified as Case Reports. Editorials and review articles may be published by invitation from the Editorial Board. All submissions are peer-reviewed. Through an electronic system for the submission and review of manuscripts, the Editor and Associate Editors aim to make publication accessible as quickly as possible to a large number of readers throughout the world.
