In multivariate analysis, positive urine culture (odds ratio [OR], 3.556; p = 0.048), long operation time (OR, 1.011; p = 0.027), high IL-2R (OR, 1.002; p = 0.018), low percentage of CD3+ cells (OR 0.931; p = 0.006), and high white blood cell (WBC) count (OR, 1.282; p = 0.044) were independent risk factors for post‐PCNL SIRS. Here, IL2RA is linked to systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
