About this trial
In this study, investigators compared the systemic inflammatory responses after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) patients who were given an expanded empirical antibiotic regimen based on the prediction of the possibility of bacteria identified by Gram staining the first urine after renal puncture and patients whose antibiotic regimen was not performed and whose antibiotic regimen was adjusted according to patient symptoms and culture results. Investigators aimed to test its diagnostic value in predicting and preventing complications.
