"Development and validation towards a Nomogram to predict acute kidney Injury following PCNL".

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate the occurrence, risk factors, and outcomes of post PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), with a secondary goal of developing a nomogram for post-PCNL AKI prediction.

Methods

A prospective observational study was conducted enrolling 333 patients who underwent PCNL between February 2022 and February 2023. Patient demographics, comorbidities, perioperative lab parameters, stone characteristics, intraoperative details, and postoperative AKI were assessed. Logistic regression analyses were employed to construct a nomogram for predicting post-PCNL AKI.

Results

40 patients (12.4%) experienced postoperative AKI, with recovery observed in all cases during the 3-month follow-up. Female gender (p = 0.002), hypertension(p = 0.022),
