ABSTRACT
Two hundred and thirty-nine patients with renal and ureteric calculi associated with renal failure were evaluated for recovery potential before definitive surgery. Ultrasonography was carried out pre-operatively in all, followed by percutaneous nephrostomy [PCN] as an initial management before definitive surgery. Diethylene triamine penta acetic acid [DTPA] scan was done in 125 patients after percutaneous nephrostomy, findings of pre- operative DTPA scan were correlated with post-operative drop in serum creatinine. Urine pH, urine Na+, initial diuresis, creatinine clearance and serum creatinine were measured serially after 24 hours and then every week for 6 weeks. Patients were re-evaluated with serum creatinine after 3 months of surgery. Ultrasonography was found to be reliable in predicting future recovery of renal functions in 76.5% cases and true obstruction of shorter duration [F4-group] on DTPA scan in 81.9% cases. Urine pH of 6 or less, post-PCN diuresis and natriuresis were good prognostic indicators. PCN was found to be most reliable method of predicting future recovery of renal function after relief of obstruction with 97.8% accuracy
