title: [Rehabilitation of the patients suffering from chronic calculous pyelonephritis].
abstract: The objective of the present study was to develop a new technology for the balneotherapeutic treatment of the patients with urolithiasis by means of combined application of mineral water, mineral baths (1 therapeutic complex), sinusoidal modulated current (SMC-phoresis of nicotinamide), and preparations inhibiting urine concrement formation. The overall efficacy of this combined balneo-, physio-, radio-, and pharmacotherapy of the patients presenting with secondary calculous pyelonephritis amounted to 94% compared with 73.4% using balneotherapy alone (p1-2 < 0.05). Summation of positive effects of balneo-, physio-, radio-, and pharmacotherapies promoted normalization of the functional state of the kidneys and the upper urinary tracts which in its turn contributed to the improvement of the patient's quality of life.
