Real-World Study of Obstructive Upper Urinary Tract Stones and Acute Pyelonephritis

Upper urinary tract stone obstruction complicated by acute pyelonephritis is a critical urological emergency requiring urgent decompression and infection control, yet real-world clinical decisions regarding the choice between retrograde ureteral stenting, percutaneous nephrostomy, or initial antibiotic therapy often vary based on physician experience and resource availability. This prospective, multi-center, observational study aims to enroll 1,650 patients across more than 30 hospitals in China to systematically evaluate the technical success rates, infection control efficacy, and safety profiles of these different management strategies. By analyzing natural clinical cohorts without intervening in routine practice, the study seeks to define the optimal application boundaries for retrograde stenting, evaluate the role of nephrostomy as a primary or salvage treatment, and establish risk models to predict the failure of conservative antibiotic therapy, ultimately providing high-level evidence for individualized and precise clinical decision-making.
