Blood test before kidney stone surgery to predict infection risk
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at a blood test done before percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), a procedure to remove kidney stones. The goal is to see whether results can predict who is more likely to develop infections or strong whole-body inflammation after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older and can give informed consent
- You are scheduled to have PCNL at UHealth Tower or Jackson Memorial Hospital
- You are not currently on medicines that lower the immune system
- Your white blood cell count (WBC) is at least 2

This study tests a treatment to prevent kidney stones from coming back after they are removed with a procedure called PCNL. The treatment uses a solution called dioxidine to help stop infection-related stones from forming again.
This trial compares two different tubes used during surgery to remove kidney stones. The goal is to see if one type works better than the other for clearing stones safely.
This study compares two ways of positioning patients during surgery to remove large kidney stones. It aims to find which position is safer and more effective for people with stones larger than 2 cm.
This trial checks whether a simple test on the first urine after kidney stone surgery can help find infections early. It only includes adults having a specific type of stone removal who are infection-free before surgery.
