Two hundred and thirty-nine patients with renal and ureteric calculi associated with renal failure were evaluated for recovery potential before definitive surgery. Ultrasonography was carried out pre-operatively in all, followed by percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) as an initial management before definitive surgery. Diethylene triamine penta acetic acid (DTPA) scan was done in 125 patients after percutaneous nephrostomy, findings of pre- operative DTPA scan were correlated with post-operative drop in serum creatinine. Urine pH, urine Na+, initial diuresis, creatinine clearance and serum creatinine were measured serially after 24 hours and then every week for 6 weeks. Patients were re-evaluated with serum creatinine after 3 months of surgery. Ultrasonography was found to be reliable in predicting future recovery of renal functions in 76.5% cases and true obstruction of shorter duration (F4-group) on DTPA scan in 81.9% cases. Urine pH of 6 or less, post-PCN diuresis and natriuresis were good prognostic indicators. PCN was found to be most reliable method of predicting future recovery of renal function after relief of obstruction with 97.8% accuracy.
