Objective
SIRS, ureteral calculi, urosepsis
SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE SYNDROME, URETERAL CALCULI, UROSEPSIS
Patients with ureteral calculi and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) often require emergency drainage, and percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) and retrograde ureteral stent insertion (RUSI) are the most commonly used methods. Our study aimed to identify the best choice (PCN or RUSI) for these patients and to examine the risk factors for progression to urosepsis after decompression.
