Objective: To evaluate renal function change after percutaneous nephrolithotomy in patients with solitary kidney.
Methods: A prospective study conducted in the urology department at Rizgary Teaching Hospital for a period of 15 months from first of June 2018 until the end of August 2019. It included nine adult patients, all of them with solitary kidney and undergone percutaneous nephrolithotomy for management of renal calculi. Patients were considered to have a solitary kidney in case of congenital abnormality, contralateral nephrectomy, or solitary functioning kidney with contralateral atrophy (relative function < 10%). All patients were received prophylactic antibiotics (Ceftriaxone) at induction of anesthesia. All percutaneous nephrolithotomy procedures performed under general anesthesia in the prone position. Serum creatinine and creatinine clearance before the operation, at day one and day 21 postoperatively, operation time, duration of hospitalization, and postoperative complications recorded.
Results: In this study, Means of serum creatinine at 1 day and 21 days postoperatively were significantly decreased compared to preoperative s. creatinine level Mean of creatinine clearance significantly increased after 21 days postoperatively compared to preoperative test, while no significant change in creatinine clearance after one day postoperatively.
Conclusion: Generally, percutaneous nephrolithotomy considered as a safe and effective option for treatment of renal stones in solitary kidney patients considering the overall rate of complications and minimal morbidity. Moreover, significant renal function improvement anticipated in the early postoperative period.
