[Complex radiologic diagnosis of renal tuberculosis].
The paper analyzes a complex of physical, laboratory, and radiation studies in 71 patients with renal tuberculosis verified by the bacteriological urine test for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MT) or postoperative histology. Ultrasound study, computed tomography, and excretory urotomography are not shown to be of informative value in diagnosing parenchymatous tuberculosis of the kidney. The diagnosis of this form of tuberculosis is made only on its clinical manifestations and positive urinary MT test. In all other forms of renal tuberculosis and its sequels, pathological changes can be detected on the basis of complex radiation techniques.
