Background: Data is lacking about long-term impact of JJ stents (JJst) on renal parenchyma. The aim of the study was to assess the evolution of renal parenchyma in patients with JJst indwelling for more than two years, and to find predictive factors for the development of renal atrophy.
Methods: Consecutive patients with JJst indwelled for more than 24 months, with a history of cancer, were retrospectively included.
