[Selected problems of the nephrological and urological status of women with Turner's syndrome].
Nephrological and urological problems among women with Turner's syndrome (TS) have not been frequently investigated so far. The aim of our study was to address those issues in adult women with TS in Poland. 176 women with TS, whose age was between 18 and 51 years, who presented to our center from the whole territory of Poland between March, 1995 and December, 2002 were examined. A particular attention was payed to nephrological and urological status of those patients. 61 women (34.7%) presented with inflammatory status in urinary tract. In 24.6% of them anatomical, congenital defects of the urinary tract were discovered. Both the presence of inflammation as well as a defect itself have no influence on incidence and degree of arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, antropometric parameters of those patients with TS and other, laboratory parameters assessed.


CONCLUSIONS
1. Women with TS suffer from urinary tract inflammations significantly more frequently then it happens in general female population. 2. Urinary tract diseases among women with TS, associated with leukocyturia are either not related to, or related not only to the characteristics of the type of a particular congenital defect of the urinary tract.
