Changes in renal volume post Percutaneous nephrolithotomy based on ultrasonography and its correlation with glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

Our study showed that there was significant changes in the renal volume and GFR following PCNL . So, a sonographic estimation of renal dimensions and GFR calculation after PCNL will help in the prognosis and further follow up of patients. A Single puncture had a better operative outcome and less adverse consequences with respect to GFR, volume change and for renal function as compared to multiple puncture.
