title: [USE OF PHYTOTHERAPY IN COMBINATION TREATMENT OF CHRONIC PYELONEPHRITIS].
abstract: The present paper reports results of a comparative study of 48 patients with latent chronic pyelonephritis and 3-18 years of duration of the disease. Patients assigned to group 1 (n=23) received standard treatment. In patients of group 2 (n=25) standard treatment was supplemented by the administration of 30-day course of Kanferon N 2 dragees twice daily. Kanferon N supplementation was found to be effective as an anti-inflammatory-measure due to its positive impact on renal microcirculation and urinary bacterial composition. It reduces the level of proinflammatory cytokines, stimulates humoral and cellular immunity thus preventing further disease progression.
