- 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.
