Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for kidney stones ≥1.5 cm in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, comparing outcomes based on their glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
- - Among 60 CKD patients analyzed, PCNL achieved a high stone clearance rate of 94%, but 21.6% experienced deterioration in their CKD stage post-operation, with some requiring hemodialysis.
- - The findings suggest that while PCNL is a viable treatment for kidney stones in CKD patients, a low pre-procedure eGFR can indicate a higher risk for complications and progression to renal replacement therapy.
