Kidney tuberculosis

Abstract

Abstracts. Internal illnesses. Kidney tuberculosis. Howard S. Jeck (A.M.A.V.92, No. 41, 1929), on the basis of 60 operated cases of kidney tbc and follow-up over a number of years, comes to the following conclusions: 1) tuberculous foci in genitalia occur in a large % cases of kidney tbc; the presence of pus in the urine with pulmonary tbc requires close monitoring of the kidneys (tbc); 2) if active tbc lesions are in only one kidney, then the prognosis is good; 3) there is no constant relationship between the duration of symptoms and the degree of kidney damage; 4) the poorer the kidney function, the greater the destruction; 5) spinal anesthesia not only facilitates nephrotomy, but also resolves the issue of postoperative pulmonary exacerbations; 6) the ureter corresponding to the diseased kidney very often gets sick with the kidney; 7) VC are determined in urine with kidney tbc in a high percentage of cases by simple common methods.
