A member asked:
How long does it take for a percutaneous nephrostomy tube to get clogged and are there recent papers on this matter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nephrostomy: There is no specified time frame - it really depends on what is draining. Infection is the biggest issues rather than clogging.
