[The immune status of patients with inflammatory diseases of the biliary and urinary tracts].
Immunologic concept of pathogenesis of certain diseases wins ever growing number of its proponents. Lack of published data on the state of the immunity system in concurrent pathologies involving biliary and urinary tracts has prompted us to set to study this problem. Studies conducted in 57 patients showed that this condition presents with marked changes in the immune system manifested by activation of humoral immunity at the background of strikingly high degrees of T-cell deficiency. Use of sodium nucleinate in the combination therapy of patients with co-existent pathologies furthers restitution of the indices for immunoreactivity, which fact correlates with improvement of the patients' clinical status.
