title: [Reticulohistiocyte system activity of the liver in patients with nephrotuberculosis].
abstract: The reticuloendothelial system of the liver was studied in 27 patients with nephrotuberculosis by means of radionuclide hepatography with colloid solution of Au-198. It was found that all these patients showed a reduction of the activity of stellate reticuloendotheliocytes of the liver. These conclusions were made on the basis of distinctly changed values of the period of half-purification of the blood, constants of blood purification, coefficient of liver retention, etc. There was also a distinct reduction of fractional blood flow of the liver.
