Popis: Introduction: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the diameter of the ureteral access sheath (UAS) used during RIRS on kidney injury based on acute kidney injury (AKI) biomarkers. Methods: This prospectively randomized controlled study included a total of 125 patients divided into three groups: group 1 (n = 52) in which a 12/14 Fr UAS was used, group 2 (n = 52) in which a 9.5/11.5 Fr UAS was used, and group 3 (n = 21) that was designed as the control group with no urogenital disease history. Urine samples were collected preoperatively and at the postoperative second and 24th hours after surgery and analyzed for AKI using the urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (uKIM-1), N-acetyl-ß-D-glucosaminidase, and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocain biomarkers. Results: In group 1, there was no statistical change in any of the three AKI biomarkers at the postoperative second or 24th hour compared to the preoperative period. In group 2, the values of all three AKI biomarkers were statistically significantly increased at the postoperative second and 24th hours compared to the preoperative period while no statistical difference was observed between the two postoperative evaluation times. At the postoperative second hour, the uKIM-1 value was statistically significantly higher in group 2 compared to group 1 (p = 0.043). Conclusions: The results of our study showed that AKI was not observed in RIRS performed with a 12/14 Fr UAS while the use of a 9.5/11.5 Fr UAS resulted in AKI according to the assessment of the related biomarkers.
