DCSCR is a good preliminary test for identifying patients who need prompt confirmatory testing for localizing urinary leaks. A drain creatinine level just 18% higher than the serum creatinine level can signify a urine leak. This is different from general assumptions of a higher DCSCR.

Trauma as well as abdominal or pelvic surgery can lead to bladder perforation or formation of urinary fistula with excessive accumulation of peritoneal fluid or increased surgical drain output caused by intraperitoneal urinary leakage.(1,2)

Among the various methods to diagnose this, assessment of drain fluid creatinine is a relatively easy procedure. We aimed to ascertain the validity of the drain fluid creatinine-to-serum creatinine ratio (DCSCR) as an initial indicator of urinary leak in patients undergoing radical cystectomy.

Sep 11, 2018 · In cases of elevated or persistent drain output, a drain fluid creatinine level can be checked based on clinical suspicion (complex partial nephrectomy, prolonged ischemic time, etc.) or radiographic findings of contrast extravasation on CT, MR, or retrograde pyelogram.

Our hypothesis is that JP drain fluid Cr can be used as a simple test to confirm the absence of urethrovesical anastomotic leak (UVAL), and thereby safely eliminating the need for routine cystography or the potential risks of premature Foley removal without any …

Our study shows that D/Pcreat ratio >6 after the first week or U/Dcreat ratio <3 at any time during the postoperative period represents a six-times higher possibility of urinary leak. There is a statistically significant difference among the creatinine drainage liquid values.

Pleural fluid to serum creatinine ratio >1.0 is indicative of urinothorax. Ascites fluid to serum creatinine ratio >1.0 is indicative of urine leakage into the peritoneal cavity. J-P fluid to serum creatinine ratio >1.0 is indicative of urine leakage into drain fluid.

Nov 8, 2023 · Biochemical analysis of drain fluid can be used to assist in the diagnosis of the postoperative urologic tract, intestinal, hepatopancreaticobiliary, and infectious complications.
