title: [The age characteristics of reaction of leukocytes in males under chronic obstructive pyelonephritis].
abstract: The leucocytosis and increase of numbers of neutrophils are two indicators commonly applied to evaluate acute inflammatory reaction. At that, the normality reference range is a standard of comparison. Considerably more often occurs the need to evaluate severity of patient condition or expression of inflammation determined by individual reactivity of organism. In this context the reaction of leukocytes was analyzed in 80 males of three age categories: younger than 55 years, 55-65 years and older than 65 years. All participants of study had verified diagnosis of chronic obstructive pyelonephritis. The comparison of leukopoiesis and erythrocyte sedimentation rate at the phase of remission and recurrence of chronic obstructive pyelonephritis of each age category made it possible to single out groups of patients with different reactivity of organism. In perspective, a possibility appears to individualize tactics of conservation therapy under chronic obstructive pyelonephritis and to evaluate its effectiveness.
