Predictors of time-to-nadir serum creatinine after drainage of bilaterally obstructed kidneys due to bladder cancer.

Background: There are persistent controversies about the outcomes and benefits of drainage of malignant ureteral obstruction by percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN). This study aimed to assess the predictors of the time-to-nadir (TTN) of serum creatinine (SCr) levels after drainage of bilaterally obstructed kidneys (BOKs) due to bladder cancer (BC) by PCN.

Materials And Methods: This prospective nonrandomized study included patients with BOKs due to BC treated by PCN between April 2019 and March 2022.
