title: [The combined treatment of patients presenting with chronic pyelonephritis with the use of magnetolaserotherapy].
abstract: The present study included 70 patients (mean age 36.0 +- 1.5 years) presenting with chronic pyelonephritis. Thirty of them were given magnetolaserotherapy in addition to the conventional treatment. Their immune status as well as the levels of proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1 bets, interleukin-6, and tumour necrosis factor-alpha) were determined. It is shown that the combined treatment (basal therapy and magnetolaserotherapy) caused a significant decrease in the duration of the main clinical manifestations of the disease and normalization of the immune system and cytokine production.
