Abstract

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the standard treatment for large renal calculi, yet clinically significant hemorrhage necessitating transfusion remains a critical perioperative challenge. This PRISMA-guided systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to consolidate the evidence on predictors of blood transfusion or severe bleeding after PCNL. Pooled analyses identified diabetes mellitus, hypertension, urinary tract infection, renal anomalies, multiple or staghorn stones, solitary kidney phenotype, multiple access tracts, larger stone size, and longer operative time as significant risk factors. Notably, hydronephrosis demonstrated an inverse association. In conclusion, post-PCNL bleeding requiring transfusion is best conceptualized as a three-domain risk paradigm: patient susceptibility, stone complexity, and procedural intensity.
