title: [Interstitial nephritis in urological practice].
abstract: The presented material consists of 9 postoperative patients' investigations. Interstitial nephritis was diagnosed in them after histological examination. Seven patients had a chronic disease, 2--acute disease. The revealed possible predisposing factors were: a prolonged use of analgetics, contact with formalin and typographical dyes, systematic alcohol usage, frequent catarrhal diseases with long-term fever, a history of acute renal destructive process. The clinical picture of patients with chronic interstitial nephritis was characterized by long periods of temperature elevation, small changes in blood counts, weakness, pain in the lumbar region. In urine analyses: moderate microhematuria, leukocyturia, proteinuria. There were signs of early damaged renal tubular functions. Antiinflammatory therapy was ineffective so the patients were operated on for various indications. During the operations there were severe macroscopic renal cirrhotic deteriorations. 2 patients underwent nephrectomy, 15 intraoperative biopsy. Histologically there were revealed: signs of interstitial tissue various cirrhotic changes in hydrops and lymphoplasmacytic infiltration with tubular compression and dystrophic changes. The following complex therapy including nonsteroid antiinflammatory agents, in some cases corticosteroids, desensitizing and antihistaminic remedy allowed one to achieve alleviation of the process.
