BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We investigated the impact of percutaneous renal procedures on estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). PATIENTS AND METHODS: The GFRs of adult patients were calculated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula, and the patients were staged according to the Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative CKD classification system. The study included 185 patients with preoperative GFR values less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2). The impact of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) on GFR was analyzed by comparing the preoperative GFR with the GFR before discharge and at postoperative month 3. RESULTS: Patients with CKD had a significant increase in the GFR after the procedure. In postoperative month 3, the mean GFR was more than 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) in 25% of the patients with CKD and less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) in 75%. While all patients with stage 5 CKD improved to better stages, some other patients' conditions declined to stage 5 from better stages at the end of postoperative month 3. No patient needed dialysis. The presence of urinary tract infections tended to affect GFR negatively. CONCLUSION: Estimated GFR, as a better indicator of renal function, is significantly affected by the PCNL procedure. While significant improvement was observed in late-stage patients with CKD, unexpected deterioration could occur in patients at earlier stages.
