title: [Urologic complications in 200 patients with Crohn disease].
abstract: The main urological complications of Crohn's disease are: vesico-intestinal fistula, ureteral obstruction, formation of urinary calculi and amyloidosis of the kidney. 200 patients suffering from Crohn's disease who had been treated in- or outpatient between 1973 and 1982 have been examined concerning urological complications. The frequency of complications was 14,5 per cent. Twenty patients developed fistulae, eleven had ureteral obstructions, two patients suffered from calculi and two from amyloidosis of the kidney. Due to this frequency a special urological diagnostic program is mandatory. A sonogram of the kidney and an i.v. urography should be made in case of pathological sonogram. This is as necessary as the control of kidney function and diagnosis of the urine. These specific urological complications are demonstrated in symptoms, diagnosis and therapy.
