title: [The C-reactive protein level of patients after the extracorporeal lithotripsy of urinary calculi].
abstract: Within 24 to 48 hours of sustaining a variety of severe clinical conditions, such as general bacterial infection, tissue necrosis, acute rheumatism, myocardial infarction, active pulmonary tuberculosis and neoplastic processes, the serum level of C-reactive protein may show a considerable increase. It may also serve as a criterion for the evolution of the disease, and for the effect of the therapy in course. The task undertaken is to use the serum level of C-reactive protein as a criterion for evaluating the extent of renal parenchyma damage following extracorporeal lithotripsy of urinary calculi (ELUC). Proceeding from the results of the study, it is assumed that ELUC is a nontraumatic operative intervention for the renal parenchyma. In case of extreme increase in C-reactive protein level, a higher incidence rate of post-ELUC complications may be anticipated.
