[Kidney functional status in patients with staghorn nephrolithiasis complicated by chronic kidney failure after an...

On the basis of examination of 125 patients with coral nephrolithiasis complicated by chronic renal insufficiency, who underwent various organ-sparing surgical interventions, the author has come to a conclusion that functional capacity of both the operated and the contralateral kidney gets impaired after the operation, its degree being directly related to the particular stage of chronic renal insufficiency. Adoption of an adequate antibacterial and disintoxication therapy in combination with hemodialysis (if indicated) in the postoperative period permit improving not only the functional state of the two kidneys but also the outcome of the organ-sparing surgical intervention.
