[Genetic variants of haptoglobin in patients with nephrotuberculosis].
Clinical, X-ray, ultrasound, and laboratory studies were made in 152 patients with nephrotic tuberculosis.  Haptoglobin phenotypes were defined in the examinees.  Nephorotic tuberculosis was found to occur in patients with haptoglobin 2-2 most commonly.  There was a relationship between the carriage of a genetically determined haptoglobin phenotype and a difference in the clinical manifestations of hephrotic tuberculosis.  The patients with haptoglobin 2-2 were seen to have more severe hephrotic tuberculosis.
