An observational 3-year follow-up study for postoperative renal function changes assessed by 99 mTc-DTPA scintigraphy and predictive factors after miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy and retrograde intrarenal surgery
A key point of this study is that it is important to explain to patients who do not show recovery within 1 to 2 years that there is a 42.1% chance their renal function may deteriorate over time. Clinicians should be particularly attentive to renal function in patients with higher preoperative creatinine levels, preoperative hydronephrosis, and S-ReSC > 3, requiring closer monitoring and management.
