title: Morphometric parameters of inflammatory infiltration in renal tissue and personality characteristics of patients at risk of pyelonephritis attack after percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
abstract: A correlation between personality traits and the type of inflammatory infiltration in the renal pelvicalyceal system was revealed in patients with nephrolithiasis. The study demonstrated the possibility of indirect evaluation of the inflammatory process in the pelvicalyceal system and preoperative prediction of acute pyelonephritis attack after percutaneous nephrolithotomy on the basis of patient's psychological status.
