[Tuberculosis infection as an etiologic factor in acute renal insufficiency].
The article deals with a retrospective study of patients treated in the Institute over the period from 1980 to 1984 for acute renal insufficiency caused by tuberculous infection, as well as with the results of control examinations of the renal function in these patients from 5-49 months after the onset of the disease. The creatinine clearance under 10 ml/min was registered in 6 of 9 patients on admission. Recovery of the renal function was noted in 8 patients. The ninth patient, with unchanged terminal insufficiency had also pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis (lymphatic glands and kidneys). The treatment depended on the degree of the damaged renal function (conservative therapy or active treatment-dialysis). The follow-up of these patients revealed an increase of creatinine clearance (84.22 +/- 14.43 ml/min) in comparison to the result on dismissal from hospital (71 +/- 37.79 ml/min).
