Effects of fluid absorption on hematological profile in the immediate postoperative period in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) have not been given due importance. Considering the limited number of studies available, we conducted this study to evaluate the changes in hemodynamics, complete blood count (CBC), and electrolytes in patients undergoing PCNL using normal saline for irrigation in the prone position. Furthermore, we evaluated the common factors known to affect the absorption.
