title: [Official statistics on urological morbidity in the Russian Federation].
abstract: Official medical statistics have been analysed corcerning overall urological morbidity in the Russian Federation (RF) and in some particular regions of the RF. The analysis covered morbidity and mortality from urogenital diseases including glomerular, tubulointersticial and other diseases of the kidneys and ureter, prostatic diseases, male infertility, cancer of the urinary bladder and prostatic gland. It was found that information on urological and oncourological morbidity in the literature is available but its amount is not satisfactory. It is necessary to introduce innovations in organization of medical statistical service, in registration of urological diseases, in particular. Active screening for urological cancer in the RF does not meet requirements and potentialities of modern health care. Special screening programs must be designed to reduce mortality and improve follow-up of urological patients.
