To evaluate the risk factors that deteriorate the renal function in solitary kidney patients with staghorn calculi after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).<h4>Methods</h4>A retrospective study was performed on solitary kidney patients with staghorn calculi between March 2014 and Jun 2019. Renal function-related indexes were collected pre-operatively, and at 1 and 6 months post-operatively. These pre- and post-operative indexes were compared to study the risk factors on renal function.<h4>Results</h4>Totally 71 solitary kidney patients with staghorn calculi were included with a male-to-female ratio of 53:Translational andrology and urology2022-2030https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC7658125biostudies-literatureRisk factors for deterioration of renal function after percutaneous nephrolithotomy in solitary kidney patients with staghorn calculi.PMC7658125Li HYin SCui JWei WBai YWang JWang ZChen BTang YfalseRisk factors for deterioration of renal function after percutaneous nephrolithotomy in solitary kidney patients with staghorn calculi.<h4>Background</h4>Nowadays, it has not been reported in detail which factors have adverse effects on renal function after PNCL surgery in solitary kidney patients with staghorn calculi.
