Besides, urine αGST and πGST were both significantly higher in stone > 1 cm subgroup when compared to ≤ 1 cm subgroup. However, URS-related AKI had no significant difference between stone ≤ 1 cm and > 1 cm subgroups. Ureteral stone patients with preserved renal function suffered more AKI (uNGAL) than those with impaired renal function. On Day 14, the difference between low-grade and high-grade hydronephrosis was significant in group 1 (p 1.0 cm were associated with complete recovery of hydronephrosis after URS on Day 14. URS induced increased uNGAL on both Days 1 and 14 in both groups, and only elevated u-πGST levels were noted on Day 14 after URSL. Four groups were included: the ureteral stricture group (group 1), the ureteral stone group (group 2), and two control groups. This prospective study consisted of 207 patients with mean age 53.8 years old between September 2012 and June 2013. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether URS balloon dilation or lithotripsy would cause acute kidney injury (AKI), which was evaluated by urine neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) and renal tubular damage, which was evaluated by urine α glutathione S-transferase (GST) and πGST. Rapidly increased intrarenal pressure during URS may have a negative impact on the kidney, but the effect on renal functions is not well known. Ureterorenoscopy (URS) is believed to be a safe and effective procedure to treat ureteral stone or ureteral stricture.
