Monitoring kidney pressure during stone removal in children
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study checks if monitoring pressure inside the kidney during PCNL surgery for kidney stones helps reduce infections after the operation. It may help your child avoid post-surgery infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be under 18 years old.
- Your child is having a PCNL procedure (surgery through a small cut in the back to remove kidney stones).
- Your child must not have an active urinary tract infection that is untreated.
- Your child must not have severe vesicoureteral reflux (grades IV or V).

This study compares simply watching a kidney stone over time versus having surgery to remove it, in children and teens who have a small, symptom-free stone. The goal is to see which approach leads to better health outcomes.
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.
This study looks at how a common kidney stone procedure affects kidney health, using a special ultrasound to measure kidney stiffness. It may help doctors understand if the procedure is safe for your kidneys.
