title: [Current methods in diagnosis of the kidney tuberculosis].
abstract: Conventional and updated medical technologies of detecting M. tuberculosis (MT) and tuberculosis antibodies (TAB) were compared. It is shown that molecular-biological and immunological methods can be used only in rapid diagnosis and screening. They should be followed by further examinations as urine MT makers and blood TAB are not criteria for final diagnosis of renal tuberculosis. Routine microbiological methods are most precise in the above diagnosis. Diagnosis of initial forms of renal tuberculosis is still unsolved problem. Low professional skills of outpatient service urologists in the field of urogenital tuberculosis explain late detection of urinary tuberculosis.
