Antibiotics before kidney drainage: help or hype?
NCT ID NCT06801405
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving antibiotics before a kidney drainage procedure (called percutaneous nephrostomy) prevents urinary tract infections in cancer patients whose urinary tract is blocked by a tumor. Researchers reviewed records of 320 cancer patients who had the procedure. The goal was to compare infection rates between those who received preventive antibiotics and those who did not.
