Hemiacidrin renal irrigation: complications and successful management
Abstract:
The complications of hemiacidrin irrigation of the kidneys for postoperative residual struvite calculi can test the ingenuity and perseverance of the clinician. The complications encountered during the irrigation of 9 kidneys in 8 patients included Candida urinary tract infection, irrigant extravasation, ureteral obstruction and chemical cystitis. Some causes and the management of these problems are discussed. Although the period of irrigation and the hospitalization are prolonged by these complications hemiacidrin irrigation remains a safe procedure when used meticulously.
Insights
Hemiacidrin irrigation for kidney stones can cause complications like infections and blockages. Careful management ensures this procedure remains safe for treating residual struvite calculi.
