Markers of renal dysfunction after percutaneous nephrolithotripsy

Introduction. Kidney stones (KS) is a common disease and occupies a significant place in urological practice. The incidence of KS is actively growing in industrialized countries. Modern technologies make it possible to carry out mini-cut interventions, reducing the risks of complications of standard techniques. However, an increase in the duration of procedures can lead to perfusion-pressor complications and overheating of the irrigated fluid. Acute kidney injury (AKI) during intraoperative intervention worsens the prognosis of rehabilitation and affects the dynamics of morbidity. For reliable and timely diagnosis of renal dysfunction, research is being conducted to develop new AKI biomarkers. The aim of this study was to study the effect of various percutaneous access methods on the level of acute renal injury in patients with urolithiasis.
