Medium-term follow-up of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy in patients with renal function impairment / 中华泌尿外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the medium-term outcomes of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy in patients with renal function impairment.Methods Data of 811 patients who underwent minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy between Jan.2009 and Dec.2011 were retrospectively collected.Seventy-eight patients had a preoperative estimated GFR of 30-59 ml/(min · 1.73m2).The minimum follow-up was 1 year.Patients were divided into group 1 (improved or stable disease) and group 2 (worsened disease).Patient age was (42.8 ± 16.3) and (45.3 ± 14.2) separately,with male patients 41 and 7,female patients 25 and 5 respectively.Body mass index were (24.3 ± 4.1) kg/m2 and (25.4 ±5.2) kg/m2,history of open surgery or ESWL were 19 and 4.Mild hydronephrosis were 22 and 4.Staghorn stone were 22 and 5.Multiple access were 13 and 2.Operative time was (78.2 ± 30.4) min and (80.3 ±32.3) min.Stone-free rate 1 month postoperatively were recorded.Multiple regression analysis was used.Results The stone free rate at 1 month postoperatively was 85％ by CT scan.Preoperative eGFR was (38.4±12.8) ml/(min · 1.73m2),and 1 ycar postoperative eGFR was (45.1 ±15.8) ml/(min · 1.73m2)in 78 patients.Renal function had improved in 31％ of patients,but it remained the same or deteriorated in 54％ and 15％,respectively at 1 year follow-up.On multivariate regression analysis,diabetes was associated with the deterioration of renal function.Conclusions At medium-term follow-up,renal function was maintained or improved in 85％ of patients with chronic kidney disease who underwent minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy.Minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy could be an effective and safe option for the patients with chronic renal function impairment.Diabetes mellitus was independent predictive factor of renal function impairment.Therefore,patients with diabetes should be followed up carefully.Medical management is needed if necessassry.
